I'm taking data structures and algorithm analysis class at college but don't know how to study... I need advice, by the way the language we're using is c++

You should just look at a bunch of code examples and really try to understand what's going on, maybe write out the process step by step. This was helpful for me when I was taking that class

@harleywewax any codes is fine or certain kind of ones are preferred ? Would you give any source?

I know a big part of our course work was sorting algorithms cprogramming.com was one I used to frequent they have a bunch of theory related content

My advices is: switch to university, which is not stuck in the stone age.
Learning algorithms and data structures with C++, is like hunting your food yourself and cooking it with actual fire.
In C++ there is too much language-specific crap going on that keeps you from concentrating on the topic.

I was formally trained in C by my university and then they just pointed us to documentation for every other language. I'd rather not use c++ at all lol

@Yeah69 I do actually like the c/c++ but as you said that it's a bit challenging language for 2nd year student like me. But my point is without languages how should I study for this class, not just passing want to learn how things work.

geeksforgeeks has busload of data structure and algo stuff.
Read the material from ur textbook and solve geeksforgeeks problems.

You better start to practice praying. For C++ you'll need at least three gods.

over complicating simple things... stick to C if you can... there is a reason why Linux kernel only has C in it... but I get it... you need to learn C++... stick with the basics for quite some time...dont jet before you can titty suck first
