Data Structures & Algorithms

A book-shaped table of contents for MAANG-interview DSA prep: Python language foundations, mathematical and algorithmic foundations, arrays/strings, linked structures, stacks/queues, trees, graphs, sorting/searching, dynamic programming, greedy algorithms, backtracking, bit manipulation, advanced data structures, advanced algorithms, interview problem patterns, and MAANG interview mastery — a book-length progression from fundamentals to Google/Meta/Amazon/Apple/Netflix/Microsoft (L4–L6) interview readiness.

1 — Sparse Table

O(1) range-minimum/maximum queries on a static array via O(n log n) precomputation.

3 — Rope

Binary-tree-of-string-chunks structure for O(log n) concatenation/insertion on very large strings.

4 — B-Tree

Multi-way balanced tree minimizing disk reads, the structure behind most database indexes.

5 — B+ Tree

B-tree variant that pushes all values to leaf nodes with a linked list across them, optimized for range scans.
