Project Ideas Using DSA

Introduction

• Ideas for creating projects using DSA (Data Structures and Algorithms)
• Importance of creating projects: Making an impact on the interviewer
• Information on building projects without development skills

Project Ideas

1. Big Integer in C++

• Perform mathematical operations on a very large range of numbers
• Big integer utility is not available in C++
• Create your own big integer class or library
• Coding knowledge: Overloading operators, memory management

2. Custom STL Library

• Create your own custom library for graphs and tries
• Map various traversal methods (BFS, DFS) in your own class
• Project impact: More user feedback and optimization

3. Process Scheduling Algorithms

• Covers important concepts of OS
• Visualization and comparative analysis of scheduling algorithms
• Used DSA: Queue, array, hashmap, greedy algorithms
• Interview impact: Demonstrate good command over OS

4. Sorting and Finding Algorithms Visualizer

• Visualize multiple sorting and shortest path finding algorithms
• Educational tool for students
• Useful during major interviews

5. Bus Route Optimization System

• Visualize graphs and routes to find the shortest route
• Tools used: Dijkstra, Floyd-Warshall, Bellman-Ford algorithms
• Interview impact: Show deep knowledge of graph theory

6. Flight Route Optimization System

• Path finding based on a network of states, countries, and cities
• Tools used: Dynamic programming, A* algorithm
• Useful as an improved timetable
• Use of comprehensive DSA knowledge

Interview Tips

• Clarity of the problem statement: what, why, how
• Reason for choosing this algorithm and analysis of other options
• How you solved the difficulties of the project
• Explain feedback and optimization

Conclusion

• Four brilliant ideas to create projects using only DSA
• Benefits and impact in interviews
• How to answer questions
• Emphasize showing your knowledge and the depth of the project
