learning data structure and algorithm

Question

is it possible to learn data structure and algorithm first, before learning programming???

is it possible to be a good Coder without learning data structure and algorithm???

Answer 1

My thoughts are that it would be hard to be an excellent programer without​ learning data structures and algorithms. You should still be able to solve any problem, however you would easily miss ideas​ that would make your code much much faster.

Can you learn algorithms​ before​ programing​? I think so. Technically when you learn to add long numbers, or do long division, you are learning to follow an algorithm. Also even a child that knows​ nothing about programing (or has never seen a computer, if there's any left) you could show them how to sort a bookshelf, and demonstrate that quick sort is faster than insertion sort.

Answer 2

Data Structures and algorithm are an important part of coding. Basically, why one code overpower other is mainly because of its algorithm. Hence, u cannot think u excelling at coding without them. You may learn data structure and algorithm first but learning them with a programming language will enable u to absorb them quickly and easily and quite better too.

Answer 3

In my opinion, we should learn the logic inside a programming language before we get into the learning of data structure and complex algorithm.

Our effors of learning the basic of a language will pay off as we will be easier to understand the algorithm thus it will help us to be better in programming field. 😉

Answer 4

To implement data structures you need to be familiar with programming first

A good coder or good coding depends upon the effective algorithm design

Answer 5

You can start learning data structure and algorithm, and write a pseudo code with out programming language.

Then you can learn any programming language easy and quickly.
