## Che cos'e'? ![Programmare sulla lavagna - da HBO's Silicon Valley](https://d3j2pkmjtin6ou.cloudfront.net/coding-at-the-whiteboard-silicon-valley.png) Questo è il mio piano di studio distribuito su più mesi per diventare un software engineer per una grande azienda. **Requisiti:** * Una minima esperienza con la programmazione (variabili, cicli, metodi/funzioni, etc) * Pazienza * Tempo Ricorda che questo è un piano di studio per **software engineering**, non per web development. Grandi aziende come Google, Amazon, Facebook e Microsoft considerano il software engineering molto diverso dal web development. Per esempio, Amazon ha dei Frontend Engineers (FEE) e dei Software Development Engineers (SDE). Questi sono due ruoli separati e i colloqui per queste posizioni non saranno gli stessi, dato che ogni reparto ha le sue peculiarità. Queste aziende esigono conoscenza in ambito software development/ruoli dell'engineering. --- ## Tabella dei Contenuti ### Il Piano di Studio - [Che Cos'è?](#che-cose) - [Perché Usarlo?](#perche-usarlo) -

Se vuoi trovare lavoro come software engineer per una grande azienda, questi sono i concetti che devi sapere. Se hai perso l'occasione di prendere una laurea in informatica, come io ho fatto, tutto questo ti aiuterà a recuperare 5 anni della tua vita. Quando ho iniziato questo progetto, non sapevo nulla, dallo stack fino all'heap, non conoscevo O-Grande o nulla riguardo gli alberi e i grafi. Se avessi dovuto scrivere un algoritmo di ordinamento da zero, ti assicuro che sarebbe stato terribile. Ogni struttura dati che avevo usato era già integrata nel linguaggio e non sapevo assolutamente come fossero implementate. Non ho mai dovuto gestire la memoria tralasciando i momenti in cui un programma returnava un errore del tipo "Out of Memory", che avrei poi risolto, cercando una soluzione. Nella mia vita ho usato alcuni array multidimensionali e migliaia di array associativi, ma non ho mai creato strutture dati da zero. Il piano è lungo. Potrebbe richiedere mesi, ma se si ha un po' di familiarità con queste cose già partirete avvantaggiati. ## Come usarlo Tutto ciò che segue rappresenta la cornice degli attuali argomenti, che si dovrebbero affrontare dall'alto verso il basso. Sto usando le funzionalità del Markdown di Github, comprese le task-liste per monitorare i propri progressi. - [Più informazioni riguardo Markdown di Github](https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/#GitHub-flavored-markdown) ### Se non vuoi usare git Su questa pagina, clicca il bottone in alto con scritto "Code", e clicca "Download ZIP". Unzippa il file e potrai lavorare con il file testuale. Se lo aprirai con un editor di testo che sa interpretare il linguaggio markdown (.md), allora leggerai il testo formattato. ![Come scaricare la repository come un file .zip](https://d3j2pkmjtin6ou.cloudfront.net/how-to-download-as-zip.png) ### Se invece ti trovi a tuo agio con git Crea un nuovo branch affinché tu possa tenere aggiornata la task list, semplicemente mettendo una 'x' nelle parentesi quadrate, così: [x] Forka un branch e segui le istruzioni qua sotto Forka la repository https://github.com/jwasham/coding-interview-university cliccando sul pulsante Fork. Clona nella tua repository locale: git clone git@github.com:/coding-interview-university.git git checkout -b progress git remote add jwasham https://github.com/jwasham/coding-interview-university git fetch --all Contrassegna con una X le task che hai completato: git add . git commit -m "Marked x" git rebase jwasham/main git push --set-upstream origin progress git push --force ## Non Pensare di non Essere Abbastanza Intelligente - I software engineers di successo sono intelligenti, ma molti di loro hanno insicurezze riguardo la loro bravura, pensando di non essere abbastanza. - [Il mito del Programmatore Genio (Video in Inglese)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SARbwvhupQ) - [È Pericoloso Andare da Soli: Sconfiggere i Mostri Invisibili nell'Ambito Tech (Articolo in Inglese)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1i8ylq4j_EY) ## Un Appunto Riguardo le Risorse Video lcuni video sono disponibili solo iscrivendosi a un corso Coursera o Edx. Questi vengono chiamati MOOCs. A volte le lezioni non saranno disponibili immediatamente, quindi dovrai aspettare un paio di mesi senza averne accesso. Sarebbe bello sostituire le risorse dei corsi online con fonti pubbliche gratuite e sempre disponibili, come i video di Youtube (preferibilmente lezioni universitarie), in modo che le persone possono studiare in qualsiasi momento e non solo quando un determinato corso online è disponibile. ## Scegli un Linguaggio di Programmazione Avrete bisogno di scegliere un linguaggio di programmazione per i colloqui che farete, ma sarà necessario trovare anche un linguaggio da utilizzare per studiare i concetti di informatica. Sarebbe perfetto se il linguaggio fosse lo stesso per entrambi gli scopi così da poter essere costante solo su un linguaggio. ### Per Questo Piano di Studio Quando ho fatto questo piano di studio, ho usato principalmente due linguaggi: C e Python * C: Bassissimo Livello. Permette di gestire puntatori e allocazione/deallocazione della memoria, cosicché si possano toccare gli algoritmi e le strutture dati con le proprie mani. In linguaggi di alto livello, come Python o Java, tutto questo viene mascherato dal linguaggio stesso. Nel lavoro di tutti i giorni, un linguaggio di basso livello è terrificante, ma quando si stanno imparando le basi è utilissimo sentirsi vicini al cuore di tutto ciò. - C è ovunque. Vedrai esempi nei libri, nelle lezioni, nei video, *OVUNQUE* durante il tuo corso di apprendimento. - [Il Linguaggio di Programmazione C, Vol. 2 (Libro in Inglese)](https://www.amazon.com/Programming-Language-Brian-W-Kernighan/dp/0131103628) - Questo è un libro abbastanza corto, ma ti darà una grande mano riguardo il linguaggio C e, se ti allenerai un po', diventerai velocemente un esperto. Capire C aiuta a comprendere il funzionamento dei programmi e della memoria. - Non c'è bisogno di studiare in profondita il libro (o comunque finirlo). Basterà arrivare al punto dove sarai a tuo agio nel leggere e nello scrivere in C. - [Risposte alle Domande del Libro](https://github.com/lekkas/c-algorithms) * Python: Moderno e molto espressivo, l'ho imparato perché è semplicemente utilissimo e ti permette di scrivere codici brevi, ma potenti. Questa è una mia preferenza, ovviamente te sei libero di scegliere. Forse non ne avrai bisogno, ma ecco una lista di siti utili per imparare a programmare online: - [Exercism](https://exercism.org/tracks) - [Codewars](http://www.codewars.com) - [Codility](https://codility.com/programmers/) - [HackerEarth](https://www.hackerearth.com/) - [Sphere Online Judge (spoj)](http://www.spoj.com/) - [Codechef](https://www.codechef.com/) - [Codeforces](https://codeforces.com/) ### Per il tuo colloquio Puoi usare un qualsiasi linguaggio di programmazione per la parte tecnica del colloquio, ma le grandi aziende richiedono certi linguaggi, quali: - C++ - Java - Python Potresti usare anche questi, ma valuta bene. Ci potrebbero essere delle contro-avvertenze: - JavaScript - Ruby Questo è un articolo che ho scritto riguardo la scelta del linguaggio: [Scegli il Linguaggio per il tuo Colloquio Tecnico (Articolo in Inglese)](https://startupnextdoor.com/important-pick-one-language-for-the-coding-interview/). Questo è l'articolo originale su cui si basa il post: [Scegliere un Linguaggio di Programmazione per il Proprio Colloquio (Articolo in Inglese)](https://web.archive.org/web/20210516054124/http://blog.codingforinterviews.com/best-programming-language-jobs/) Devi essere tranquillo nel linguaggio che scegli, oltre che il più competente possiile. Informati di più riguardo la scelta: - [Scegli il Linguaggio Giusto per il tuo Colloquio (Articolo in Inglese)](http://www.byte-by-byte.com/choose-the-right-language-for-your-coding-interview/) [Risorse Specifiche per i Linguaggi (Pagina in Inglese)](../programming-language-resources.md) ## Libri per Studiare Strutture di Dati e Algoritmi Il libro che sceglierai creerà le fondamenta delle tue conoscenze nell'ambito informatico. Scegline uno solo. Cerca di sentirti a tuo agio nel linguaggio che sceglierai, dovrai leggere e scrivere molto codice. ### C - [Algoritmi in C, Parti 1-5, 3za Edizione (Libro in Inglese)](https://www.amazon.com/Algorithms-Parts-1-5-Bundle-Fundamentals/dp/0201756080) - Fondamentali, Strutture Dati, Ordinamento, Ricerca e Algoritmi per Grafi ### Python - [Data Structures and Algorithms in Python (Libro in Inglese)](https://www.amazon.com/Structures-Algorithms-Python-Michael-Goodrich/dp/1118290275/) - di Goodrich, Tamassia, Goldwasser - Ho amato questo libro. Ricopre tutti gli argomenti e più. - Codice "Pythonico" - La mia Recensione (Articolo in Inglese): https://startupnextdoor.com/book-report-data-structures-and-algorithms-in-python/ ### Java A tua scelta: - Goodrich, Tamassia, Goldwasser - [Strutture Dati e Algoritmi in Java (Libro in Inglese)](https://www.amazon.com/Data-Structures-Algorithms-Michael-Goodrich/dp/1118771338/) - Sedgewick e Wayne: - [Algoritmi (Libro in Inglese)](https://www.amazon.com/Algorithms-4th-Robert-Sedgewick/dp/032157351X/) - Corsi gratis di Coursera che possono sostituire il libro (creati dagli autori stessi!): - [Algoritmi I (Corso in Inglese)](https://www.coursera.org/learn/algorithms-part1) - [Algoritmi II (Corso in Inglese)](https://www.coursera.org/learn/algorithms-part2) ### C++ A tua scelta: - Goodrich, Tamassia, and Mount - [Strutture Dati e Algoritmi in C++, 2da Edizione (Libro in Inglese)](https://www.amazon.com/Data-Structures-Algorithms-Michael-Goodrich/dp/0470383275) - Sedgewick e Wayne - [Algoritmi in C++, Parti 1-4: Fondamentali, Strutture Dati, Ordinamento, Ricerca (Libro in Inglese)](https://www.amazon.com/Algorithms-Parts-1-4-Fundamentals-Structure/dp/0201350882/) - [Algoritmi in C++ Parte 5: Algoritmi per Grafi (Libro in Inglese)](https://www.amazon.com/Algorithms-Part-Graph-3rd-Pt-5/dp/0201361183/) ## Libri per la Preparazione in Vista dei Colloqui Non è necessario comprare molti libri. Onestamente, "Spaccare il Colloquio Pratico di Coding (Libro in Inglese)" è sufficiente, però io ne ho comprati altri per fare più pratica, ma faccio sempre troppo. Io li ho comprati entrambi e mi hanno permesso di impratichirmi molto: - [Colloqui Pratichi Smascherati: Programma la tua Via di Salvezza, 4ta Edizione (Libro in Inglese)](https://www.amazon.com/Programming-Interviews-Exposed-Through-Interview/dp/111941847X/) - Risposte in C++ e Java - Questo è un ottimo riscaldamento per il prossimo libro - Non troppo difficile. La maggior parte dei problemi potrebbero essere più facili rispetto ai colloquio (da quello che ho letto) - [Spaccare il Colloquio Pratico di Coding, 6ta Edizione (Libro in Inglese)](http://www.amazon.com/Cracking-Coding-Interview-6th-Programming/dp/0984782850/) - Risposte in Java ### Se hai un Sacco di Tempo Libero: Scegline uno: - [Elementi dei Colloqui di Programmazione (C++) (Libro in Inglese)](https://www.amazon.com/Elements-Programming-Interviews-Insiders-Guide/dp/1479274836) - [Elementi dei Colloqui di Programmazione (Python) (Libro in Inglese)](https://www.amazon.com/Elements-Programming-Interviews-Python-Insiders/dp/1537713949/) - [Elementi dei Colloqui di Programmazione (Java) (Libro in Inglese)](https://www.amazon.com/Elements-Programming-Interviews-Java-Insiders/dp/1517435803/) - [Progetto di Gruppo - Metodi e Test per ogni problema del libro (Repository in Inglese)](https://github.com/gardncl/elements-of-programming-interviews) ## Non Commettere i Miei Stessi Errori Questa lista è cresciuta esponenzialmente negli ultimi mesi, e sì, la situazione è sfuggita di mano. Questi sono alcuni dei miei errori, così che tu possa evitarli, risparmiando mesi di tempo. ### 1. Non ti Ricorderai Tutto Ho guardato ore e ore di video, preso tanti appunti, ma mesi dopo ricordavo davvero poco. Ho speso 3 giorni a leggere i miei appunti e a farmi flash-cards affinchè le potessi revisionare. Non mi serviva tutta quella conoscenza. Perfavore leggilo, così da non fare il mio stesso errore: [Mantenere la Conoscenza in Ambito Informatico (Articolo in Inglese)](https://startupnextdoor.com/retaining-computer-science-knowledge/). ### 2. Usa delle Flash-Cards Per risolvere questo problema, ho creato un piccolo sito web di flashcards dove è possibile trovare 2 tipologie di carte: generali e codice. Ognuna ha una formattazione diversa. Il sito è ottimizzato per telefono e tablet, affinché potessi revisionare da lì. Crea le tue flash-cards gratuitamente: - [Repository del Sito per Flash-Cards (Repository e Sito in Inglese)](https://github.com/jwasham/computer-science-flash-cards) **SCONSIGLIO VIVAMENTE di Usare le mie Flash-Cards** Sono troppe e alcune eccessivamente complesse. Ma se non vuoi darmi ascolto, eccole qua: - [DataBase delle mie Flash-Cards (1200 cards) (Repository e Cards in Inglese)](https://github.com/jwasham/computer-science-flash-cards/blob/main/cards-jwasham.db) - [DataBase delle mie Flash-Cards (difficoltà estrema - 1800 cards) (Repository e Cards in Inglese)](https://github.com/jwasham/computer-science-flash-cards/blob/main/cards-jwasham-extreme.db) Tieni a mente che ho creato carte per qualsiasi argomento, dall'assembly alle curiosità su python, fino al machine learning e alla statistica. Tutto ciò è molto più di quanto è veramente necessario. **Riguardo le Flash-Cards:** La prima volta che comprendi la domanda e rispondi correttamente, non mettere via la card. Devi rispondere più volte alla stessa carta prima di considerarla appresa. La ripetizione farà penetrare la vostra conoscenza nei meandri del nostro cervello. Un alternativa al mio sito di è [Anki](http://ankisrs.net/), sito che è stato consigliatomi parecchie volte. Usa un sistema di ripetizione che aiuta a memorizzare meglio. Facile da usare, disponibile su qualsiasi piattaforma e auto-sincronizzato con altri tuoi dispositivi, ha un costa di $25 su iOS, ma è disponibile su altre piattaforme. Il mio DataBase di Flash-Cards in Anki: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/25173560 (grazie a [@xiewenya](https://github.com/xiewenya)). Alcuni studenti mi hanno fatto notare problemi di formattazione con degli spazi vuoti, facilmente risolvibili così: apri un mazzo, modifica il mazzo, clicca sulle carte, seleziona "styling" e aggiungi "white-space: pre;" alla classe "Card". ### 3. Esercitati con delle Domande da Colloquio Durante lo Studio QUESTO È MOLTO IMPORTANTE. Comincia ad esercitarti con delle possibile domande da colloquio durante lo studio delle strutture dati e degli algoritmi. Dovrai applicare tutto ciò che stai imparando per risolvere i problemi, o ti dimenticherai tutto. Io ho fatto questo errore. Appena hai imparato un argomento e pensi di saperlo padroneggiare bene (come ad esempio le **linked lists**): 1. Apri uno dei [libri di preparazione ai colloqui](#libri-per-la-preparazione-in-vista-dei-colloqui) (o siti internet di problem-solving, listati poi sotto) 2. Rispondi a 2 o 3 domane riguardo le linked lists. 3. Studia il prossimo argomento. 4. Dopo, torna indietro e rispondi ad altre 2 o 3 domande sulle linked list. 5. Fai questo con ogni nuovo argomento che dovrai affrontare. **Continua ad esercitarti con i problemi durante la tua fase di studio, non dopo.** Non verrai assunto per la tua conoscenza, ma per come applicherai la tua conoscenza. Ci sono molte risorse da consultare, riportate poi sotto. ### 4. Concentrazione Ci sono un sacco di distrazioni che potrebbero toglierti tempo prezioso. Focalizzarsi e concentrarsi è difficile. Metti un po' di musica senza lyrics e ti saprai concentrare molto bene. ## Cosa Non Sara' Trattato Queste tecnologie sono fondamentali, ma non fanno parte di questo piano di studio: - SQL - Javascript (JS) - HTML, CSS e altre tecnologie front-end ## Il Piano Giornaliero Questo corso tratta moltissimi argomenti. Ognuno di questi ti terrà impegnato per qualche giorno, o addirittura per settimane. Dipende dal tuo programma. Ogni giorno, guarda il prossimo argomento nella lista, guarda video a riguardo e implementa degli appunti di quelle strutture dati o algoritmi del linguaggio a tua scelta per il corso. Puoi vedere i miei codici qua: - [C](https://github.com/jwasham/practice-c) - [C++](https://github.com/jwasham/practice-cpp) - [Python](https://github.com/jwasham/practice-python) Non devi memorizzare ogni algoritmo. Devi essere capace di capirlo abbastanza da poterlo implementare tu stesso. ## Domande per Esercitarsi in Vista del Colloquio Perché questo paragrafo? Non sono ancora pronto ad un colloquio. [Allora torna in dietro e leggi questo.](#3-esercitati-con-delle-domande-da-colloquio-durante-lo-studio) Perché esercitarsi con dei proble-solving: - Ricognizione del problema e come le strutture dati ed algoritmi possono essere utilizzate - Raccolta dei requisiti per risolvere il problema - Mentre programmi, spiega il problema e la soluzione, proprio come succederebbe durante il colloquio - Programma su foglio di carta o su una lavagna, non al computer - Trova la complessità temporale e spaziale delle tue soluzioni (vedi O-Grande sotto) - Testa le tue soluzioni C'è una bellissima introduzione per la metodica della comunicazione nei colloqui di problem-solving. Lo scoprirai anche nei libri di preparazione, ma ho trovato questo articolo fatto molto bene: [Design degli Algoritmi (Articolo in Inglese)](http://www.hiredintech.com/algorithm-design/) Scrivi il codice su carta o su una lavagna, non su un computer. Provalo con qualche input di prova. Poi riscrivilo e testalo su un computer. Se non hai una lavagnetta a casa, prendi un quadernone per fogli da disegno in una qualsiasi cartolibreria. Puoi metterti comodo sul divano e programmare. Questa è la mia "lavagnetta da divano". Ho aggiunto la penna nella foto per far capire le dimensioni. Se usi una penna, vorrai poter cancellare. Diventa subito un casino. **Io uso una matita e una gomma.** ![La mia Lavagnetta da Divano](https://d3j2pkmjtin6ou.cloudfront.net/art_board_sm_2.jpg) **Risolvere questi problemi di coding non serve a memorizzare.** ## Problemi di Coding Non dimenticarti dei [libri per prepararti al colloquio](#libri-per-la-preparazione-in-vista-dei-colloqui).

A particularly interesting self-organizing data structure is the splay tree, which uses rotations to move any accessed key to the root." - Skiena - Of these, I chose to implement a splay tree. From what I've read, you won't implement a balanced search tree in your interview. But I wanted exposure to coding one up and let's face it, splay trees are the bee's knees. I did read a lot of red-black tree code - Splay tree: insert, search, delete functions If you end up implementing red/black tree try just these: - Search and insertion functions, skipping delete - I want to learn more about B-Tree since it's used so widely with very large data sets - [Self-balancing binary search tree](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-balancing_binary_search_tree) - **AVL trees** - In practice: From what I can tell, these aren't used much in practice, but I could see where they would be: The AVL tree is another structure supporting O(log n) search, insertion, and removal. It is more rigidly balanced than red–black trees, leading to slower insertion and removal but faster retrieval. This makes it attractive for data structures that may be built once and loaded without reconstruction, such as language dictionaries (or program dictionaries, such as the opcodes of an assembler or interpreter) - [MIT AVL Trees / AVL Sort (Video in Inglese)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNeL18KsWPc&list=PLUl4u3cNGP61Oq3tWYp6V_F-5jb5L2iHb&index=6) - [AVL Trees (Video in Inglese)](https://www.coursera.org/learn/data-structures/lecture/Qq5E0/avl-trees) - [AVL Tree Implementation (Video in Inglese)](https://www.coursera.org/learn/data-structures/lecture/PKEBC/avl-tree-implementation) - [Split And Merge](https://www.coursera.org/learn/data-structures/lecture/22BgE/split-and-merge) - **Splay trees** - In practice: Splay trees are typically used in the implementation of caches, memory allocators, routers, garbage collectors, data compression, ropes (replacement of string used for long text strings), in Windows NT (in the virtual memory, networking and file system code) etc - [CS 61B: Splay Trees (Video in Inglese)](https://archive.org/details/ucberkeley_webcast_G5QIXywcJlY) - MIT Lezione: Splay Trees: - Gets very mathy, but watch the last 10 minutes for sure. - [Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnPl_Y6EqMo) - **Red/black trees** - These are a translation of a 2-3 tree (see below). - In practice: Red–black trees offer worst-case guarantees for insertion time, deletion time, and search time. Not only does this make them valuable in time-sensitive applications such as real-time applications, but it makes them valuable building blocks in other data structures which provide worst-case guarantees; for example, many data structures used in computational geometry can be based on red–black trees, and the Completely Fair Scheduler used in current Linux kernels uses red–black trees. In the version 8 of Java, the Collection HashMap has been modified such that instead of using a LinkedList to store identical elements with poor hashcodes, a Red-Black tree is used - [Aduni - Algorithms - Lezione 4 (link jumps to starting point) (Video in Inglese)](https://youtu.be/1W3x0f_RmUo?list=PLFDnELG9dpVxQCxuD-9BSy2E7BWY3t5Sm&t=3871) - [Aduni - Algorithms - Lezione 5 (Video in Inglese)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hm2GHwyKF1o&list=PLFDnELG9dpVxQCxuD-9BSy2E7BWY3t5Sm&index=5) - [Red-Black Tree](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red%E2%80%93black_tree) - [An Introduction To Binary Search And Red Black Tree](https://www.topcoder.com/thrive/articles/An%20Introduction%20to%20Binary%20Search%20and%20Red-Black%20Trees) - **2-3 search trees** - In practice: 2-3 trees have faster inserts at the expense of slower searches (since height is more compared to AVL trees). - You would use 2-3 tree very rarely because its implementation involves different types of nodes. Instead, people use Red Black trees. - [23-Tree Intuition and Definition (Video in Inglese)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3SsdUqasD4&list=PLA5Lqm4uh9Bbq-E0ZnqTIa8LRaL77ica6&index=2) - [Binary View of 23-Tree](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYvBtGKsqSg&index=3&list=PLA5Lqm4uh9Bbq-E0ZnqTIa8LRaL77ica6) - [2-3 Trees (student recitation) (Video in Inglese)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOb1tuEZ2X4&index=5&list=PLUl4u3cNGP6317WaSNfmCvGym2ucw3oGp) - **2-3-4 Trees (aka 2-4 trees)** - In practice: For every 2-4 tree, there are corresponding red–black trees with data elements in the same order. The insertion and deletion operations on 2-4 trees are also equivalent to color-flipping and rotations in red–black trees. This makes 2-4 trees an important tool for understanding the logic behind red–black trees, and this is why many introductory algorithm texts introduce 2-4 trees just before red–black trees, even though **2-4 trees are not often used in practice**. - [CS 61B Lezione 26: Balanced Search Trees (Video in Inglese)](https://archive.org/details/ucberkeley_webcast_zqrqYXkth6Q) - [Bottom Up 234-Trees (Video in Inglese)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQdMYevEyE4&index=4&list=PLA5Lqm4uh9Bbq-E0ZnqTIa8LRaL77ica6) - [Top Down 234-Trees (Video in Inglese)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2679VQ26Fp4&list=PLA5Lqm4uh9Bbq-E0ZnqTIa8LRaL77ica6&index=5) - **N-ary (K-ary, M-ary) trees** - note: the N or K is the branching factor (max branches) - binary trees are a 2-ary tree, with branching factor = 2 - 2-3 trees are 3-ary - [K-Ary Tree](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-ary_tree) - **B-Trees** - Fun fact: it's a mystery, but the B could stand for Boeing, Balanced, or Bayer (co-inventor). - In Practice: B-Trees are widely used in databases. Most modern filesystems use B-trees (or Variants). In addition to its use in databases, the B-tree is also used in filesystems to allow quick random access to an arbitrary block in a particular file. The basic problem is turning the file block i address into a disk block (or perhaps to a cylinder-head-sector) address - [B-Tree](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B-tree) - [B-Tree Datastructure](http://btechsmartclass.com/data_structures/b-trees.html) - [Introduction to B-Trees (Video in Inglese)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I22wEC1tTGo&list=PLA5Lqm4uh9Bbq-E0ZnqTIa8LRaL77ica6&index=6) - [B-Tree Definition and Insertion (Video in Inglese)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3bCdZGrgpA&index=7&list=PLA5Lqm4uh9Bbq-E0ZnqTIa8LRaL77ica6) - [B-Tree Deletion (Video in Inglese)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svfnVhJOfMc&index=8&list=PLA5Lqm4uh9Bbq-E0ZnqTIa8LRaL77ica6) - [MIT 6.851 - Memory Hierarchy Models (Video in Inglese)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3omVLzI0WE&index=7&list=PLUl4u3cNGP61hsJNdULdudlRL493b-XZf) - covers cache-oblivious B-Trees, very interesting data structures - the first 37 minutes are very technical, may be skipped (B is block size, cache line size) - ### k-D Trees - Great for finding number of points in a rectangle or higher dimension object - A good fit for k-nearest neighbors - [kNN K-d tree algorithm (Video in Inglese)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4ZgLlDfKDg) - ### Skip lists - "These are somewhat of a cult data structure" - Skiena - [Randomization: Skip Lists (Video in Inglese)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2g9OSRKJuzM&index=10&list=PLUl4u3cNGP6317WaSNfmCvGym2ucw3oGp) - [For animations and a little more detail](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skip_list) - ### Network Flows - [Ford-Fulkerson in 5 minutes — Step by step example (Video in Inglese)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tl90tNtKvxs) - [Ford-Fulkerson Algorithm (Video in Inglese)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1VgJmkEJW0) - [Network Flows (Video in Inglese)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vhN4Ice5jI) - ### Disjoint Sets & Union Find - [UCB 61B - Disjoint Sets; Sorting & selection (Video in Inglese)](https://archive.org/details/ucberkeley_webcast_MAEGXTwmUsI) - [Sedgewick Algorithms - Union-Find (6 video)](https://www.coursera.org/learn/algorithms-part1/home/week/1) - ### Math for Fast Processing - [Integer Arithmetic, Karatsuba Multiplication (Video in Inglese)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCaXlAaN2uE&index=11&list=PLUl4u3cNGP61Oq3tWYp6V_F-5jb5L2iHb) - [The Chinese Remainder Theorem (used in cryptography) (Video in Inglese)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ru7mWZJlRQg) - ### Treap - Combination of a binary search tree and a heap - [Treap](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treap) - [Data Structures: Treaps explained (Video in Inglese)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6podLUYinH8) - [Applications in set operations](https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~scandal/papers/treaps-spaa98.pdf) - ### Linear Programming (video) - [Linear Programming](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4K6HYLHREQ) - [Finding minimum cost](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ACJ9ewUC6U) - [Finding maximum value](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AA_81xI3ik) - [Solve Linear Equations with Python - Simplex Algorithm](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44pAWI7v5Zk) - ### Geometry, Convex hull (video) - [Graph Alg.
