Welcome to The Algorithm Guru!
This is your friendly guide to learning algorithms and data structures in a fun, simple, and engaging way.
While these topics are well-covered in many places, they’re often presented in ways that feel overly formal or disconnected from real understanding. My goal is to change that by offering clear explanations, relatable analogies, and practical examples that actually make sense.
Whether you’re a beginner or just brushing up your skills, this project will help you see how algorithms and data structures work, why they matter, and how to actually use them.
This project is inspired by Refactoring.Guru, which does an amazing job of explaining refactoring, design patterns, and SOLID principles in a clear and connected way. I wanted to bring that same clarity and playfulness to another essential area of programming: algorithms and data structures.
Data Structures
Data structures are the way we organize and store data in our programs.
They’re like the containers that hold the information we need to work with.
Algorithms
Algorithms are the heart of programming.
They’re the step-by-step instructions that tell your computer how to solve a problem or perform a task.
