Ask HN: How should I study algorithms and datastructures?
Dear all, I am currently studying towards a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science in Sweden. Right now I am attending a course called "Algorithms and datastructures", where we get an introduction to sorting, searching, priority queues etc.
If feel that I need to spend a lot of time in order to really understand the essence of the algorithms, which gets very time consuming when you need two days only to understand insertion sort and merge sort.
How do I study these topics the most efficiently? How well should I know certain algorithms and datastructures?
