A good understanding of data structures and algorithms is essential to many software engineering and data science careers. Data structures are a way to maximize and store data so that operations — such as inserting, deleting, and storing data — can be performed efficiently.

There are a number of reasons that it is important for beginner engineers to make sure that a data structure lesson is part of their curriculum. Many competitive tech companies focus on data structures in their technical interviews. A solid understanding of data structures and algorithms will also help you write code more quickly and efficiently, because you’ll have the tools necessary to solve complex software problems.

Looking for bootcamps that provide training in data structures? Highly-ranked programs include Thinkful, The Tech Academy and Lambda School. SwitchUp has compiled verified alumni reviews that range from 1 to 5 stars for programs that teach data structures and algorithms. Our comprehensive guide to data structures and algorithms will help you kick-start your research. Be sure to check out all individual reviews and rankings before making your decision.
