> I feel like I could just go through the docs for for java / kotlin collections lib and cracking the code interview, and get a good understanding of DS / algos. What would this offer beyond that? It offers video lectures -- did you look at the link? Not everyone learns the exact same way. Maybe this is upvoted because people (on aggregate) prefer the course's contents over reading through Java libraries? Also, honestly, language libraries can be hit-or-miss in terms of algos since they reward optimization over simplicity. Python's standard sort (apparently Java's too?) for instance is Timsort [1] — not necessarily what you want for an introductory course. ---------------------------------------- [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timsort |
