Discrete mathematics is the basis of several popular algorithms. This course shows the discreteness of data structures and algorithms. It can benefit programmers with a non-CS background looking to strengthen their foundations by connecting theoretical concepts with practical programming scenarios.

The course starts with discussing relating discrete mathematics with algorithms and data structures. You will have examples demonstrating variables, conditional expressions, and arrays as basic building blocks of programming. Then, you will use classes and objects to define and implement linear data structures. You will also learn about the binary tree traversals and templates and the topics of time complexity, set difference, and rearranging the values in a string.

By the end of the course, you will have a strong grasp of algorithm design, data structure implementation, and overall problem-solving.

Programming Discrete Math Concepts for Beginners

**(True or False)** Time complexity has nothing to do with execution time. It’s all about the better algorithm. 


(True or False) Time complexity has nothing to do with execution time. It’s all about the better algorithm.

**(True or False)** Time complexity is important when we work with data structures.

(True or False) Time complexity is important when we work with data structures.

We can use Big O notation to compare two worst-case scenarios, which helps us decide which algorithm is better.

Big O notation doesn't show us time complexity.
