I’m interested in data structures and algorithms and like learning about new things in that field. Because just learning stuff about myself without really having a goal and because I want to write things down anyways I had the idea that I could share these things in form of a blog.

This is the first thing I’m posting here, in the future I might also write about some other things.

What to expect

Praxis-oriented writing on DSA

My goal is to mostly cover data structures and algorithms which actually have practical use cases. That means I (most often) won’t e.g. write about a randomized algorithm with linear expected runtime, but rather about one with like $O(n \log n)$ without some huge constants.

One of the reasons I’m interested in this topic is competitive programming. Because of that I’ll focus more on efficient and fast implementations rather than “nice” ones which are in line with all the best-practices.

For most things (I actually don’t yet see a reason why not for everything) I’ll be using Rust. Though nearly everything should be mostly language independent and the Rust code we write shouldn’t be too hard to read.

Regular Posts (hopefully)

As one could expect from the name of the series (daily DSA) I’ll try to publish new things daily. Though at some point that will obviously end. Just so you can’t say I didn’t tell you.

No-AI

I don’t want to have any AI written text or code here.

What to not expect

Particularly good writing

I’m non-native English speaker and wouldn’t consider myself an experienced nor a good writer. So don’t expect a really good or errorless (is that a word?) writing style. That I didn’t yet set up good spell checking certainly also doesn’t help.

An organized order

I’m just writing about what I feel like and have the time for. So I might talk about some things which I haven’t previously talked about. If that should happen: Most (all actually) of the things here you can easy research yourself on e.g. Wikipedia, GeeksForGeeks or with your LLM of choice.

I’ll try to reference old materials (gotta figure out how links even work here) as I go along, so if you’re reading this at a later point in time there actually might be a nice structure.

Rules

Scheduled Posts

If someone didn’t expect this, I got a sometimes quite busy life. Therefore I (will try to) schedule posts for future dates.

New Topic Daily

I consider e.g. variations of data structures which add new functionality something new and therefore worthy of it’s own day. What exactly falls under this category is defined by me.
