Should i study data structure and algorithm before learning any programming languages?

Question

data structure

Answer 1

If you have the freedom to do so, I'd suggest to just start learning a language and intersperse your regular programming practice with standard structures/algos as you go and need it, while you mainly concentrate on writing a lot of code with your own hands which will always be the main force making you better.

Answer 2

I wouldn't recommend that. It'd be like learning the grammar of a language without knowing any words or learning how to repair a car without knowing how to drive one.

Answer 3

Hey "Visioner",

Data Structure and Algorithms are so important and perhaps learned with negligible programming experience, but if I would say then you should first take look at the languages or just pick a single language as per your comfort, it may be C/C++, Java, Python etc. It will give you a clear idea and it would be easier for you to understand the algorithms in terms of Programming.

Answer 4

Yes its good ..If you learn data structures and algorithms it can easy for you to understand the language

Answer 5

Not required though . But you can .

Answer 6

that may be help full but not that much required just telling you as mine expiryance
