About

This platform is designed to simplify the learning of complex data structures and algorithms through engaging and interactive visualizations. It covers a wide range of fundamental and advanced topics in computer science, providing users with an intuitive way to grasp intricate concepts.

The visualizations demonstrate how different algorithms and data structures operate internally, helping users understand their mechanics and applications through clear, step-by-step graphical representations. Whether you're a student, a coding enthusiast, or a professional preparing for interviews, this platform serves as a valuable resource for mastering essential topics.

Key Topics Covered:

Data Structures: Array, Linked List (LL), Binary Heap, Hash Table, Binary Search Tree (BST), Graph Data Structure, Union-Find Data Structure, Fenwick Tree, Segment Tree, Suffix Tree, Suffix Array.

Algorithmic Concepts: Sorting, Bitmasking, Recursion Tree, Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG), Graph Traversal, Minimum Spanning Tree, Single-Source Shortest Path (SSSP), Cycle Finding, Geometry (Polygon, Convex Hull).

Advanced Topics: Network Flow, Graph Matching, Minimum Vertex Cover, Steiner Tree, Travelling Salesman, Nondeterministic Polynomial (NP) Complete Reduction.

The platform allows users to see how each of these data structures and algorithms behaves in real-time, offering a hands-on learning experience. Whether you're dealing with graph algorithms, dynamic programming, or optimization problems, the visualizations will help demystify these topics by breaking them down into manageable, clear animations.


Advantages of the Platform:

  • Interactive Learning: Engage with algorithms visually, breaking down complex processes into understandable steps.
  • Comprehensive Coverage: From basic data structures to advanced algorithms, the platform offers a broad range of topics to explore.
  • Self-Paced Exploration: Learn at your own pace, revisiting topics as needed with easy-to-follow visualizations.
  • Practice-Oriented: Ideal for preparing for coding interviews, contests, or deepening your understanding of algorithms and data structures.
  • Free and Accessible: Available to anyone, anywhere, with no login required, making it a versatile tool for learners and professionals alike.

Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA) students and instructors are welcome to use this website directly for their classes. If you capture screenshots or videos from this site, feel free to use them elsewhere, provided that you cite the URL of this website (https://your-website-url) and/or the list of publications below as references. However, please refrain from downloading AlgoByPrabhat's client-side files and hosting them on your website, as this constitutes plagiarism. At this time, we do not permit others to fork this project or create AlgoByPrabhat variants. Personal use of an offline copy of the client-side AlgoByPrabhat is acceptable.

Please note that AlgoByPrabhat's online quiz component has a substantial server-side element, and it is not easy to save server-side scripts and databases locally. Currently, the general public can access the online quiz system only through the 'training mode.' The 'test mode' offers a more controlled environment for using randomly generated questions and automatic verification in real examinations.
