    About the Course

    This course covers the essential information that every serious programmer needs to know about algorithms and data structures, with
    emphasis on applications and scientific performance analysis of Java implementations. Part I covers elementary data structures, sorting, and
    searching algorithms. Part II focuses on graph- and string-processing algorithms. All the features of this course are available for free. People
    who are interested in digging deeper into the content may wish to obtain the textbook Algorithms, Fourth Edition (upon which the course is
    based) or visit the website algs4.cs.princeton.edu for a wealth of additional material. This course does not offer a certificate upon completion.

    Incredible learning experience. Every programmer in industry should take this course if only to dispel the idea that with the advent of cloud computing exponential algorithms can still ruin your day!

    Extremely well designed course. The assignments touch all the concepts taught in the class. Lot of concepts get clarified when you try to reach 100% on each assignment. Highly recommend this course.

    In case you are new to computer algorithms this course is for you. The instructor is just perfect and the course difficulty is average, not difficult nor easy. I learned abit java as well :)

    Extremely high quality content with clear explanations provided in a sensible order. I just wish Coursera would migrate the exercises so that I could have some more content alined practice.

    This is an amazing course and it opened my eyes to seeing algorithms in a different perspective. I would recommend this course to anyone looking to learn algorithms or to optimize their own.

    Excellent course and materials. Wonderful videos from a legend in the field. The programming assignments are challenging- I wouldn't advise learning java as you go along with this course.

    Course is very good with in-depth knowledge of the topics that are being discussed but the reading material needs to be improved as it is quite complicated to understand for the first time

    It`s fundamental course, I think every programmer must know basic algorithms and data structures. Java programming model as simple as python or js, so recieved skill will be useful anyway.

    Great program.! I pursued lots of tectonics and ideas in one place. Well organized materials and practical implementation of algorithm assignment makes us happy to involve in this program.

    Previously at my school, I felt that the algorithm was very dry and had few applications. Thanks to this course I realized the algorithm is so cool, so beautiful and so many applications

    This course is awesome for someone who wants to learn about algorithm fundamentals.

    The assignments strictly follow what have been presented in the lectures and they are very challenging.

    Wonderful revise of the basis algorithms especially for java developers, it also teaches you the basic java constructs used so even someone with very little java knowledge can attend it

    "Remind me again why I'm trying to check if 4 points line on a straight line or not?" - Me, at 3 in the morning.

    "Where is Week 7?" - Me, after completing the course with a perfect score.

    I am not a novice in algorithms. I felt I was missing a few things so decided to try this class and I was not disappointed; simply the best algorithm class I have taken. I learned a ton

    Really enjoyed the learning from completing the assignments. Great visualizations for concepts in the lectures, and learnt a lot more about Java than I thought I would from this course.

    This a challenging and rewarding course. The exercises include a ready project some of them with visualization clients and tests ready and that helps a lot. I can't wait to start part 2
