Data Structures and Algorithms courses can help you learn about arrays, linked lists, trees, and graph structures, along with sorting and searching algorithms. You can build skills in problem-solving, optimizing code efficiency, and analyzing algorithm complexity. Many courses introduce tools like Python, Java, or C++ for implementing these concepts, as well as platforms for coding challenges that reinforce your understanding through practical application.
