Advanced Algorithms
Course 4 of 4 in the Data Structures & Algorithms diploma
From topological sort to dynamic programming and its classic problems such as knapsack, LIS, LCS and edit distance, then backtracking and divide and conquer, and finally shortest paths and minimum spanning trees: Dijkstra, Bellman-Ford, Floyd, Prim and Kruskal.
Senior Vision Engineer, NVIDIA
What you'll learn
- Apply topological sort.
- Solve dynamic programming problems: knapsack, LIS, LCS and edit distance.
- Use backtracking and divide and conquer, such as merge sort and quick sort.
- Apply shortest paths and minimum spanning trees: Dijkstra, Bellman-Ford, Floyd, Prim and Kruskal.

Why CSkilled instead of scattered resources?
A comparison between learning from scattered resources and learning from one integrated curriculum.
Scattered resources (YouTube / generic courses / bootcamps)
- Depth and curriculum: Scattered content with no clear order, so you get lost between levels.
- Practice: Few problems, often without explained solutions, and small, incomplete projects.
- Instructor and language: Uneven quality of explanation, and much of it is in English only.
- Support and cost: No guidance, and dollar-priced subscriptions or expensive bootcamps.
What do you get at CSkilled Academy?
- Depth and curriculum: 70 lectures and 90 hours in two versions, Python and C++, explaining the idea before using any ready-made tool.
- Practice and projects: Graded problems with explained solutions, and hands-on projects that bring what you learned together into complete work.
- Instructor and language: Taught in Arabic with English terminology, with six Diplomas taught by Dr. Mostafa Saad, who has taught programming for 20 years and is a Senior Computer Vision Engineer at NVIDIA with a PhD in Computer Vision.
- Support and payment: A support team that answers your questions on WhatsApp, and interest-free installments for up to 6 months.
