What makes Codecademy Pro Intensive different?
“Algorithms are the basis of computing. Once the 'what' and 'why' of programming are understood, algorithms answer 'how'. Once you understand them, you'll have a much greater capacity to solve problems with software.”
Project: Convoluted Kernel Maze
Use graph searching algorithms to determine a path through a corn maze. Keep a sorted inventory of items you pick up along the way to make sure you are holding onto the best swag.
