Data Structures & Algorithms Cheat Sheet

Software Engineer•Computer Science
# Data Structures & Algorithms Revision Notes **Focus:** Core Patterns & Big-O Complexity Cheat Sheet ## 1. Sorting Algorithms Complexity - **Merge Sort**: Time O(N log N) all cases | Space O(N) | Stable: YES - **Quick Sort**: Time O(N log N) avg, O(N²) worst | Space O(log N) | Stable: NO - **Heap Sort**: Time O(N log N) | Space O(1) | In-place: YES ## 2. Essential Two-Pointer Pattern Used on sorted arrays/strings to find pairs or subarray windows in O(N) time: ```ts function twoSumSorted(arr: number[], target: number): [number, number] | null { let left = 0; let right = arr.length - 1; ...

Why Use the DSA & Coding Interview Notes Template?

1

Obsidian Slate Dark Mode

Eye-friendly dark theme designed for developers coding late into the night.

2

Fira Code Monospace Typography

Syntax-ready typography with crisp indentation for Python, C++, Java, and TypeScript code snippets.

3

Big-O Complexity Tables

Structured sections for memorizing time and space complexities before interview rounds.

4

Pattern Revision Checklist

Check off mastered LeetCode patterns (Two Pointers, Sliding Window, DP, Graphs).

Study Methodology

How to Take Notes with this Template

Phase 1

1. Categorize by Pattern, Not Problems

Group problems by underlying technique (e.g. Fast & Slow Pointers, Monotonic Stack, Backtracking) rather than individual problem names.

Phase 2

2. State Big-O First

Before writing the code, always document the time complexity and space complexity constraints.

Phase 3

3. Note Down Edge Cases

Always write down edge cases: empty input, single element, duplicates, and integer overflow boundaries.
