Hi all, I need your help to make a list of most used data structures and algorithms along with their tutorials,
implementation and some problems on them. It will be helpful to everyone in many ways. I request everyone to
contribute to this list by providing links to tutorials, problems, etc. I will keep updating this list regularly.

22 Just a suggestion. Sort this list according to their usage. Like, the algorithms which are most used would be ranked first,
then the rarely used problems.

For BIT use this tutorial: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15439233/bitusingabinaryindexedtree way better than

all other resources. And thanks for the resource.

after spending hours reading KMP from several sites and failing to understand, i found this one very straight forward and
well explaining: http://keithschwarz.com/interesting/code/?dir=knuthmorrispratt

Thanks friends .These links are really useful for newbies like us. May Allah(swt) bless and guide all those who contributed
in collecting these links.

I know, but it doesn't contain implementation , tutorial, problems, etc.

neo1tech9_7 (01 Aug '14, 00:06)

Nice Initiative I would recommend http://emaxx.ru/algo/ for the implementation and theory. Make use of google
translate. It also have a good set of questions in the end.

For DP I would recommend this the topic is nicely explained by Mimino.(For starters)

Added :). Though i prefer geeksforgeeks for implementation they comment their code in detail :) .
neo1tech9_7 (04 Aug '14, 03:06)

One might try http://emaxx.ru/ :) It's in Russian though, but Google translator might help.

I think stackoverflow can also be of immense help.

Really awesome effort.
