When choosing a data structure or algorithm, ... the Binary Search algorithm is almost always more efficient than the Linear Search algorithm–something you’ll see for yourself in Part 2.

When a program attempts to search a data structure for a particular item, it uses an algorithm. An algorithm is a process, defined in code, for carrying out a specific task.

Building fast and highly performant data science applications requires an intimate knowledge of how data can be organized in a computer and how to efficiently perform operations such as sorting, ...

Learn when and how to use different data structures and their algorithms in your own code. This is harder as a student, as the problem assignments you'll work through just won't impart this knowledge.

It’s a very common programming task to search a singly linked list for specific data items. While the Linear Search algorithm (introduced in Part 2) is most frequently used for this type of task ...
