Your code’s readability, writeability, and speed may all be improved by selecting the most appropriate data structure for storing and handling data in your Python projects. The majority of your data structure requirements may be satisfied by using Python’s inbuilt features.
You will learn how to use dictionaries and arrays, two fundamental data structures, in this course. Each of these data structures come in a wide variety of classes and flavors, and this course breaks them down and explains how to choose the right one for your needs.
