About the Course

This course covers the essential information that every serious programmer needs to know about algorithms and data structures, with emphasis on applications and scientific performance analysis of Java implementations. Part I covers elementary data structures, sorting, and searching algorithms. Part II focuses on graph- and string-processing algorithms. All the features of this course are available for free. People who are interested in digging deeper into the content may wish to obtain the textbook Algorithms, Fourth Edition (upon which the course is based) or visit the website algs4.cs.princeton.edu for a wealth of additional material. This course does not offer a certificate upon completion....

The best online course I've taken so far. The autograder really does its job! The tests are so thorough that it always takes me several attempts to finish an assignment, but it is always worth it!

The course focuses on Java specific implementations of algorithms, so if you're not from a Java background, you would have a little difficulty with the assignments.The course content however is great.

课程讲解很有启发性,而非单纯的公式+逻辑推导(这部分也很重要,但是应该交给课本,配合书本食用更佳)

作业评价系统设计的很好,测试很完备,兼顾可读、可维护和可用。

作业测试环境,client设计合理有趣。

Very rewarding course. The best way to learn algorithm is to learn from the one who discovered it.
