DSA Roadmap for Beginners

1. Learn a Programming Language

Pick one of the following:

- C++ (most popular for DSA)

- Python (easier syntax, slower but beginner-friendly)

- Java (good for interviews)

Resources:

- C++ Basics - CodeWithHarry (YouTube)

- Python for Beginners - FreeCodeCamp

2. Master Basic Data Structures

Start with these:

- Arrays: Traversing, Insertion, Deletion, Searching

- Strings: Manipulations, Palindrome, Anagrams

- Linked List: Single, Double, Circular

- Stack & Queue: Using arrays & linked lists

- Hashing: HashMap / Dictionary

Resources:

- GeeksforGeeks DSA Playlist

- Love Babbar DSA Sheet (90 Days)

3. Dive into Algorithms

Topics:
DSA Roadmap for Beginners

- Sorting: Bubble, Insertion, Selection, Merge, Quick

- Searching: Linear, Binary

- Recursion: Factorial, Fibonacci, Tree traversals

- Backtracking: N-Queens, Sudoku

- Greedy: Activity selection, Huffman coding

- Dynamic Programming: Knapsack, LIS, LCS

- Graph Algorithms: BFS, DFS, Dijkstra, MST

Resources:

- Abdul Bari's Algorithm Series (YouTube)

- NeetCode (YouTube + LeetCode Guide)

4. Practice Platforms

Practice is key! Use these platforms:

- LeetCode: Interview-level problems

- CodeStudio: Guided DSA paths

- HackerRank: Learn DSA from scratch

- Codeforces: Competitive programming

- GFG Practice: Topic-wise problems

5. Follow a Schedule

Example Weekly Plan:

- Mon-Wed: Learn 1 new topic + solve 5 basic problems

- Thurs: Revise + solve medium problems


DSA Roadmap for Beginners

- Fri-Sat: Practice on LeetCode or GFG

- Sun: Mock test + review mistakes

Extra Tips

- Understand time and space complexity.

- Write code by hand first, then on IDE.

- Debug mistakes and learn from them.

- Use notebook or Notion to track progress.
