DSA Roadmap Basic To Advanced

The document outlines a comprehensive roadmap for mastering Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA), divided into three main steps: foundational data structures, topic-wise algorithms, and other core concepts. It covers essential data structures like arrays, linked lists, trees, and graphs, along with various algorithms for searching, sorting, recursion, greedy methods, dynamic programming, and graph traversal. Additionally, it provides a learning strategy emphasizing implementation, problem-solving, and utilizing online platforms for practice.
