Mastering Data Structures & Algorithms: Your Learning Roadmap
Whether you’re preparing for coding interviews or aiming to strengthen your core programming skills, understanding Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA) is essential.
The Roadmap.sh DSA guide breaks it down clearly—from arrays and recursion to graphs, trees, and dynamic programming. It also includes tips on time complexity, Big-O notation, and how to practice effectively using platforms like LeetCode and HackerRank.
📌 A great visual starting point for both beginners and experienced coders.

📚 Data Structures & Algorithms (DSA) Roadmap – Full Guide
Mastering DSA is key to cracking coding interviews and becoming a strong software developer. The roadmap at roadmap.sh outlines a step-by-step path covering:
✅ Core Concepts
Time & Space Complexity
Understand Big-O notation and analyze code performance.
Recursion & Sorting
Learn recursion fundamentals and popular sorting algorithms (Quick, Merge, etc.).
📦 Essential Data Structures
Arrays & Strings
Foundation for most problems. Focus on indexing, slicing, and manipulation.
Linked Lists
Learn singly, doubly, and circular lists.
Stacks & Queues
Useful in parsing, memory management, and scheduling problems.
Hashing
Use hash maps and sets for constant-time lookups and frequency tracking.
🌳 Advanced Structures
Trees & Binary Search Trees (BST)
Learn traversals (inorder, preorder, postorder), and tree-based problems.
Heaps & Tries
Efficient for priority tasks and prefix-based operations.
Graphs
Dive into BFS, DFS, Dijkstra’s, and graph representations (adjacency list/matrix).
🎯 Problem-Solving Techniques
Sliding Window, Two Pointers, Divide & Conquer
Patterns that simplify solving complex problems.
Dynamic Programming (DP)
Optimize recursive solutions by storing results (memoization & tabulation).
Greedy Algorithms & Backtracking
Solve optimization problems with smart decisions and exhaustive search.
🧠 Practice & Application
Use platforms like LeetCode, Codeforces, HackerRank, or GeeksforGeeks.
Apply DSA to real-world problems in systems, games, and backend logic.
