1

Sort  Algorithm

Sorting is the most heavily studied concept in Computer Science. Idea is to arrange the items of a list in a specific order. 

2

Search Algorithm

Binary search is used to perform a very efficient search on sorted dataset. DFS and BFS are tree/graph traversing and searching data structures. 

3

Hashing

Hash lookup is currently the most widely used technique to find appropriate data by key or ID. We access data by its index. 

4

Dynamic Programming

Dynamic programming (DP) is a method for solving a complex problem by breaking it down into simpler subproblems. 

5

Exponentiation by squaring

Exponentiation by squaring or Binary exponentiation is a general method for fast computation of large positive integer powers of a number 

6

String Matching and Parsing

Pattern matching/searching is one of the most important problem in Computer Science. In this type there are two algorithms KMP Algorithm and Regular Expression 

7

Primality Testing Algorithm

There are deterministic and probabilistic ways of determining whether a given number is prime or not. 

We’ll discuss some advanced algorithms every competitive programmer should know in the next story.
