This course is about getting hands-on experience solving algorithms in Python.

As a developer, mastering the concepts of algorithms and being proficient in implementing them is essential to improving problem-solving skills. This course aims to equip you with an in-depth understanding of algorithms and how they can be utilized for problem-solving in Python.

Starting with the basics, you'll gain a foundational understanding of what algorithms are, with topics ranging from simple multiplication algorithms to analyzing algorithms. Then, you’ll delve into more advanced topics like recursion, backtracking, dynamic programming, and greedy algorithms. You'll also learn about basic graph algorithms, depth-first search, shortest paths, minimum spanning trees, and all-pairs shortest paths. 

By the end of this course, you'll have acquired a wide range of skills that will significantly enhance your ability to solve problems efficiently in Python. Through this course, not only will you improve your coding skills, but you will also gain confidence in tackling complex problems.

Mastering Algorithms for Problem Solving in Python

##         

In this lesson, we'll focus on a particular instantiation of the depth-first search algorithm. Primarily, we'll look at the behavior of this algorithm in directed graphs.
Although depth-first search can be accurately described as “whatever-first search with a stack,” the algorithm is normally implemented recursively rather than using an explicit stack:
