What algorithms courses are we even talking about? I dropped out after sophomore year but I still took data structures and algorithms, and a lot of the stuff I see people mention getting quizzed on at Google (I saw convex hulls in another thread on here) is 400-level, elective courses in these topics. The last object we studied in DS&A was graphs and graph algorithms, which I can handle just fine.

- jolux 5y agoCan’t tell if you’re being facetious or not but my point was that not even every CS major would have taken this course (and learned about these structures) by the time they had finished, so it doesn’t quite seem reasonable to expect it as core knowledge for CS graduates, unless you want to select for graduating from a particular school.
