🧠 *Top 10 Algorithms Every Developer Should Know* ⚙️
1️⃣ *Binary Search*
– Efficient search in sorted data
– Time: O(log n)
2️⃣ *Sorting Algorithms (Quick, Merge, Bubble)*
– Organize data
– QuickSort: O(n log n) avg
3️⃣ *Two Pointer Technique*
– Solves problems on arrays (e.g. pairs, palindromes)
– Efficient: O(n) or O(n²)
4️⃣ *Sliding Window*
– Optimize subarray problems (e.g. max sum, longest substring)
– Time: O(n)
5️⃣ *Recursion & Backtracking*
– Solve complex problems by exploring possibilities
– Used in puzzles, path finding, permutations
6️⃣ *Dynamic Programming (DP)*
– Break problem into subproblems + memoization
– Used in optimization & game theory
7️⃣ *Depth-First Search (DFS)*
– Explore all paths in a tree/graph
– Stack-based or recursive
8️⃣ *Breadth-First Search (BFS)*
– Level-by-level traversal
– Queue-based, good for shortest path
9️⃣ *Greedy Algorithms*
– Make best choice at each step
– Used in scheduling, coin change (approximate)
🔟 *Dijkstra’s Algorithm*
– Finds shortest path in weighted graphs
– Time: O(V + E log V)
💡 *Pro Tip:* Understand when to use each and their time/space complexities.
