How to Use Collections in PHP
PHP is a versatile server-side scripting language that offers developers an extensive set of collection types to store and manipulate data. This guide will provide a detailed look into PHP’s…
Data Structures & Algorithms – Divide and conquer algorithms (e.g. merge sort, Karatsuba multiplication)
Divide and conquer algorithms are a class of algorithms that involve breaking down a problem into smaller and simpler subproblems, solving each subproblem, and then combining the solutions of the…
Data Structures & Algorithms – Graph algorithms (e.g. Dijkstra’s shortest path, Prim’s minimum spanning tree)
Graph algorithms are a set of methods and techniques used to solve problems related to graphs, which are mathematical structures used to model pairwise relations between objects. Two of the…
Data Structures & Algorithms – Dynamic programming (e.g. Bellman-Ford, Floyd-Warshall)
Dynamic Programming (DP) is a technique used to solve problems by breaking them down into smaller subproblems and solving each subproblem only once. The solutions to the subproblems are then…
Data Structures & Algorithms – Greedy algorithms (e.g. Huffman coding, Kruskal’s minimum spanning tree)
Greedy algorithms are a class of algorithms that make locally optimal choices at each step with the hope of finding a global optimum. They are particularly useful for solving optimization…
Data Structures & Algorithms – Hash tables
Hash tables, also known as hash maps, are a data structure that maps keys to values using a hashing function. They are commonly used for tasks such as implementing dictionaries,…
Data Structures & Algorithms – Graphs (e.g. adjacency list, adjacency matrix)
A graph is a data structure that consists of a finite set of vertices (or nodes) and a set of edges that connect these vertices. There are different ways to…
Data Structures & Algorithms – Heaps (e.g. binary heap, Fibonacci heap)
Heaps are a specific kind of tree-based data structure in which the parent node has a specific relationship with its child nodes, such as the parent node being larger or…
Data Structures & Algorithms – Search algorithms (e.g. binary search, linear search)
Search algorithms are a set of methods and techniques used to find a specific item or a set of items in a collection. There are many different search algorithms, each…
