✅ DSA Part 2 – Recursion 🔁🧠

Recursion is when a function calls itself to solve smaller subproblems. It's powerful but needs a base case to avoid infinite loops.

1️⃣ What is Recursion?
A recursive function solves a part of the problem and calls itself on the remaining part.

Basic Python Example:

def countdown(n):
    if n == 0:
        print("Done!")
        return
    print(n)
    countdown(n - 1)

▶️ Counts down from n to 0

2️⃣ Key Parts of Recursion:
• Base case – Stops recursion
• Recursive case – Function calls itself

Java Example – Factorial:

int factorial(int n) {
    if (n == 0) return 1;
    return n * factorial(n - 1);
}

C++ Example – Sum of Array:

int sum(int arr[], int n) {
    if (n == 0) return 0;
    return arr[n - 1] + sum(arr, n - 1);
}

3️⃣ Why Use Recursion?
• Breaks complex problems into simpler ones
• Great for trees, graphs, backtracking, divide conquer

4️⃣ When Not to Use It?
• Large inputs can cause stack overflow
• Use loops if recursion is too deep or inefficient

5️⃣ Practice Task:
✅ Write a recursive function to calculate power (a^b)
✅ Write a function to reverse a string recursively
✅ Try basic Fibonacci using recursion

👇 Solution for Practice Task

✅ 1. Recursive Power Function (a^b)

Python:

def power(a, b):
    if b == 0:
        return 1
    return a * power(a, b - 1)

print(power(2, 3))  # Output: 8

C++:

int power(int a, int b) {
    if (b == 0) return 1;
    return a * power(a, b - 1);
}
// Example: cout << power(2, 3); // Output: 8

Java:

int power(int a, int b) {
    if (b == 0) return 1;
    return a * power(a, b - 1);
}
// Example: System.out.println(power(2, 3)); // Output: 8

✅ 2. Reverse String Recursively

Python:

def reverse(s):
    if len(s) == 0:
        return ""
    return reverse(s[1:]) + s[0]

print(reverse("hello"))  # Output: "olleh"

C++:

string reverse(string s) {
    if (s.length() == 0) return "";
    return reverse(s.substr(1)) + s[0];
}
// Example: cout << reverse("hello"); // Output: "olleh"

Java:

String reverse(String s) {
    if (s.isEmpty()) return "";
    return reverse(s.substring(1)) + s.charAt(0);
}
// Example: System.out.println(reverse("hello")); // Output: "olleh"

✅ 3. Fibonacci Using Recursion

Python:

def fib(n):
    if n <= 1:
        return n
    return fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2)

print(fib(6))  # Output: 8

C++:

int fib(int n) {
    if (n <= 1) return n;
    return fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2);
}
// Example: cout << fib(6); // Output: 8

Java:

int fib(int n) {
    if (n <= 1) return n;
    return fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2);
}
// Example: System.out.println(fib(6)); // Output: 8

✅ DSA Part 3 – Arrays & Sliding Window 📊🧠

Arrays are the foundation of data structures. Mastering them unlocks many advanced topics like sorting, searching, and dynamic programming.

1️⃣ What is an Array?
An array is a collection of elements stored at contiguous memory locations. All elements are of the same data type.

Python Example:

arr = [10, 20, 30, 40]
print(arr[2])  # Output: 30

C++ Example:

int arr[] = {10, 20, 30, 40};
cout << arr[2];  // Output: 30

Java Example:

int[] arr = {10, 20, 30, 40};
System.out.println(arr[2]);  // Output: 30

2️⃣ Basic Array Operations:
• Insert
• Delete
• Traverse
• Search
• Update

Python – Traversal:

for i in arr:
    print(i)

C++ – Search:

for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
    if (arr[i] == key) {
        // Found
    }
}

Java – Update:

arr[1] = 99;  // Updates second element

3️⃣ Sliding Window Technique 🪟
Used to reduce time complexity in problems involving subarrays or substrings.

▶️ Fixed-size window:
Find max sum of subarray of size k
▶️ Variable-size window:
Find longest substring with unique characters

4️⃣ Sliding Window – Max Sum Subarray (Size k)

Python:

def max_sum(arr, k):
    window_sum = sum(arr[:k])
    max_sum = window_sum
    for i in range(k, len(arr)):
        window_sum += arr[i] - arr[i - k]
        max_sum = max(max_sum, window_sum)
    return max_sum

print(max_sum([1, 4, 2, 10, 2, 3], 3))  # Output: 16

5️⃣ Practice Tasks:
✅ Find the second largest element in an array
✅ Implement sliding window to find max sum subarray
✅ Try variable-size window: longest substring without repeating characters

👇 Solution for Practice Tasks

✅ 1. Find the Second Largest Element in an Array

Python:

def second_largest(arr):
    first = second = float('-inf')
    for num in arr:
        if num > first:
            second = first
            first = num
        elif first > num > second:
            second = num
    return second if second != float('-inf') else None

print(second_largest([10, 20, 4, 45, 99]))  # Output: 45

✅ 2. Max Sum Subarray (Fixed-size Sliding Window)

Python:

def max_sum(arr, k):
    window_sum = sum(arr[:k])
    max_sum = window_sum
    for i in range(k, len(arr)):
        window_sum += arr[i] - arr[i - k]
        max_sum = max(max_sum, window_sum)
    return max_sum

print(max_sum([1, 4, 2, 10, 2, 3, 1, 0, 20], 4))  # Output: 24

✅ 3. Longest Substring Without Repeating Characters (Variable-size Sliding Window)

Python:

def longest_unique_substring(s):
    seen = {}
    left = max_len = 0
    for right in range(len(s)):
        if s[right] in seen and seen[s[right]] >= left:
            left = seen[s[right]] + 1
        seen[s[right]] = right
        max_len = max(max_len, right - left + 1)
    return max_len

print(longest_unique_substring("abcabcbb"))  # Output: 3 ("abc")

✅ DSA Part 4 – Strings: Patterns, Hashing & Two Pointers 🔤🧩⚡

Strings are everywhere—from passwords to DNA sequences. Mastering string manipulation unlocks powerful algorithms in pattern matching, text processing, and optimization.

1️⃣ What is a String?
A string is a sequence of characters. In most languages, strings are immutable and indexed like arrays.

Python Example:

s = "hello"
print(s[1])  # Output: 'e'

C++ Example:

string s = "hello";
cout << s[1];  // Output: 'e'

Java Example:

String s = "hello";
System.out.println(s.charAt(1));  // Output: 'e'

2️⃣ Common String Operations:
• Concatenation
• Substring
• Comparison
• Reversal
• Search
• Replace

Python – Reversal:

s = "hello"
print(s[::-1])  # Output: 'olleh'

C++ – Substring:

string s = "hello";
cout << s.substr(1, 3);  // Output: 'ell'

Java – Replace:

String s = "hello";
System.out.println(s.replace("l", "x"));  // Output: 'hexxo'

3️⃣ Pattern Matching – Naive vs Efficient
Naive Approach: Check every substring
Efficient: Use hashing or KMP (Knuth-Morris-Pratt)

Python – Naive Pattern Search:

def search(text, pattern):
    for i in range(len(text) - len(pattern) + 1):
        if text[i:i+len(pattern)] == pattern:
            print(f"Found at index {i}")

search("abracadabra", "abra")  # Output: Found at index 0, 7

4️⃣ Hashing for Fast Lookup
Use hash maps to store character counts, frequencies, or indices.

Python – First Unique Character:

from collections import Counter

def first_unique_char(s):
    count = Counter(s)
    for i, ch in enumerate(s):
        if count[ch] == 1:
            return i
    return -1

print(first_unique_char("leetcode"))  # Output: 0

5️⃣ Two Pointers Technique
Used for problems like palindromes, anagrams, or substring windows.

Python – Valid Palindrome:

def is_palindrome(s):
    s = ''.join(filter(str.isalnum, s)).lower()
    left, right = 0, len(s) - 1
    while left < right:
        if s[left] != s[right]:
            return False
        left += 1
        right -= 1
    return True

print(is_palindrome("A man, a plan, a canal: Panama"))  # Output: True

6️⃣ Practice Tasks:
✅ Implement pattern search (naive)
✅ Find first non-repeating character
✅ Check if a string is a palindrome
✅ Use two pointers to reverse vowels in a string
✅ Try Rabin-Karp or KMP for pattern matching

✅ DSA Part 5 – Linked Lists: Single, Double & Reverse 🔁🔗📚

Linked Lists are dynamic data structures ideal for scenarios requiring frequent insertions and deletions. Unlike arrays, they don’t need contiguous memory and offer flexible memory usage.

1️⃣ What is a Linked List?
A Linked List is a linear data structure where each element (node) contains:
- Data
- Pointer to the next node (and optionally the previous node)

Types:
- Singly Linked List: Each node points to the next
- Doubly Linked List: Nodes point to both next and previous
- Circular Linked List: Last node points back to the head

2️⃣ Singly Linked List – Basic Structure

Python

class Node:
    def __init__(self, data):
        self.data = data
        self.next = None

Java

class Node {
    int data;
    Node next;
    Node(int data) {
        this.data = data;
        this.next = null;
    }
}

C++

struct Node {
    int data;
    Node* next;
    Node(int data): data(data), next(nullptr) {}
};

3️⃣ Insert at Head (Singly)

Python

def insert_head(head, data):
    new_node = Node(data)
    new_node.next = head
    return new_node

Java

Node insertHead(Node head, int data) {
    Node newNode = new Node(data);
    newNode.next = head;
    return newNode;
}

C++

Node* insertHead(Node* head, int data) {
    Node* newNode = new Node(data);
    newNode->next = head;
    return newNode;
}

4️⃣ Doubly Linked List – Bi-directional Pointers

Python

class DNode:
    def __init__(self, data):
        self.data = data
        self.prev = None
        self.next = None

Java

class DNode {
    int data;
    DNode prev, next;
    DNode(int data) {
        this.data = data;
    }
}

C++

struct DNode {
    int data;
    DNode* prev;
    DNode* next;
    DNode(int data): data(data), prev(nullptr), next(nullptr) {}
};

5️⃣ Insert at Head (Doubly)

Python

def insert_head(head, data):
    new_node = DNode(data)
    new_node.next = head
    if head:
        head.prev = new_node
    return new_node

Java

DNode insertHead(DNode head, int data) {
    DNode newNode = new DNode(data);
    newNode.next = head;
    if (head != null) head.prev = newNode;
    return newNode;
}

C++

DNode* insertHead(DNode* head, int data) {
    DNode* newNode = new DNode(data);
    newNode->next = head;
    if (head) head->prev = newNode;
    return newNode;
}

6️⃣ Reversing a Singly Linked List

Python

def reverse_list(head):
    prev = None
    current = head
    while current:
        next_node = current.next
        current.next = prev
        prev = current
        current = next_node
    return prev

Java

Node reverseList(Node head) {
    Node prev = null, current = head;
    while (current != null) {
        Node next = current.next;
        current.next = prev;
        prev = current;
        current = next;
    }
    return prev;
}

C++

Node* reverseList(Node* head) {
    Node* prev = nullptr;
    Node* current = head;
    while (current) {
        Node* next = current->next;
        current->next = prev;
        prev = current;
        current = next;
    }
    return prev;
}

7️⃣ Why Use Linked Lists?
✅ Dynamic memory allocation
✅ Efficient insert/delete (O(1) at head/tail)
❌ Slower access (O(n) for random access)
✅ Great for implementing stacks, queues, hash maps, etc.

8️⃣ Practice Tasks
✅ Implement singly linked list with insert/delete
✅ Implement doubly linked list with insert at tail
✅ Reverse a singly linked list

✅ Core Data Structures Part 2 – Stacks Queues 📚📥📤

Stacks and queues are fundamental linear data structures used in many algorithms and real-world applications like undo operations, task scheduling, and more.

1️⃣ What is a Stack?
A Stack is a Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) structure.
Think of a stack of plates: you add (push) and remove (pop) from the top.

Operations:
• push(item) – Add item to the top
• pop() – Remove item from the top
• peek() – View top item without removing
• is_empty() – Check if stack is empty

Python Implementation (Using List)

stack = []

# Push
stack.append(10)
stack.append(20)

# Pop
print(stack.pop())  # 20

# Peek
print(stack[-1])    # 10

# Check empty
print(len(stack) == 0)

2️⃣ What is a Queue?
A Queue is a First-In-First-Out (FIFO) structure.
Think of a line at a ticket counter: first come, first served.

Operations:
• enqueue(item) – Add item to the rear
• dequeue() – Remove item from the front
• peek() – View front item
• is_empty() – Check if queue is empty

Python Implementation (Using collections.deque)

from collections import deque

queue = deque()

# Enqueue
queue.append(10)
queue.append(20)

# Dequeue
print(queue.popleft())  # 10

# Peek
print(queue[0])         # 20

# Check empty
print(len(queue) == 0)

3️⃣ Stack Using Linked List (Python)

class Node:
    def __init__(self, data):
        self.data = data
        self.next = None

class Stack:
    def __init__(self):
        self.top = None

    def push(self, data):
        node = Node(data)
        node.next = self.top
        self.top = node

    def pop(self):
        if not self.top:
            return None
        data = self.top.data
        self.top = self.top.next
        return data

4️⃣ Queue Using Linked List (Python)

class Node:
    def __init__(self, data):
        self.data = data
        self.next = None

class Queue:
    def __init__(self):
        self.front = self.rear = None

    def enqueue(self, data):
        node = Node(data)
        if not self.rear:
            self.front = self.rear = node
        else:
            self.rear.next = node
            self.rear = node

    def dequeue(self):
        if not self.front:
            return None
        data = self.front.data
        self.front = self.front.next
        if not self.front:
            self.rear = None
        return data

You don’t need to be a LeetCode grandmaster.
But data science interviews still test your problem-solving mindset—and these 5 types of challenges are the ones that actually matter.

Here’s what to focus on (with examples) 👇

🔹 1. String Manipulation (Common in Data Cleaning)

✅ Parse messy columns (e.g., split “Name_Age_City”)
✅ Regex to extract phone numbers, emails, URLs
✅ Remove stopwords or HTML tags in text data

Example: Clean up a scraped dataset from LinkedIn bias

🔹 2. GroupBy and Aggregation with Pandas

✅ Group sales data by product/region
✅ Calculate avg, sum, count using .groupby()
✅ Handle missing values smartly

Example: “What’s the top-selling product in each region?”

🔹 3. SQL Join + Window Functions

✅ INNER JOIN, LEFT JOIN to merge tables
✅ ROW_NUMBER(), RANK(), LEAD(), LAG() for trends
✅ Use CTEs to break complex queries

Example: “Get 2nd highest salary in each department”

🔹 4. Data Structures: Lists, Dicts, Sets in Python

✅ Use dictionaries to map, filter, and count
✅ Remove duplicates with sets
✅ List comprehensions for clean solutions

Example: “Count frequency of hashtags in tweets”

🔹 5. Basic Algorithms (Not DP or Graphs)

✅ Sliding window for moving averages
✅ Two pointers for duplicate detection
✅ Binary search in sorted arrays

Example: “Detect if a pair of values sum to 100”

🎯 Tip: Practice challenges that feel like real-world data work, not textbook CS exams.

Use platforms like:

StrataScratch
Hackerrank (SQL + Python)
Kaggle Code

Advanced programming concepts you should know 👇👇

✅ 1. Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)
Think of it like real life: A car is an object with properties (color, speed) and methods (drive, brake). You build code using reusable objects.

✅ 2. Inheritance
Like family traits: A child class gets features from a parent class.
Example: A Dog class can inherit from an Animal class.

✅ 3. Polymorphism
One thing, many forms.
Like a button that does different things depending on the app. Same action, different results.

✅ 4. Encapsulation
Hiding details to keep it clean.
Like using a microwave—you press a button, don’t worry about how it works inside.

✅ 5. Recursion
When a function calls itself.
Like Russian dolls inside each other. Useful for problems like solving a maze or calculating factorials.

✅ 6. Asynchronous Programming
Doing many things at once.
Like cooking while waiting for a download. It avoids “blocking” other tasks.

✅ 7. APIs
Like a waiter between your code and a service.
You say, “Get me the weather,” the API brings the data for you.

✅ 8. Data Structures & Algorithms
Data structures = ways to organize info (like shelves).
Algorithms = steps to solve a problem (like a recipe).

✅ 9. Big-O Notation
A way to measure how fast or slow your code runs as data grows.
More efficient code = faster apps!

✅ 10. Design Patterns
Reusable solutions to common coding problems.
Like blueprints for building a house, but for code.
