An optimized algorithm (like QuickSort) is useless if paired with a data structure that makes access slow (like a poorly indexed list).
In a world of "copy-pasting" from StackOverflow or prompting LLMs, going back to these first principles is what separates a coder from a true software engineer. Algorithms Data Structures = Programs (Prenti...
When you understand the "geometry" of your data first, the logic (the algorithm) often writes itself. An optimized algorithm (like QuickSort) is useless if
