Why studying algorithms will enhance your programming career
<p>As someone who is interested in becoming a software developer, you have probably heard that it’s important to learn algorithms. Or maybe you have already started your programming career and haven’t yet encountered a situation where knowledge of algorithms would be beneficial to you. Either way, you might be wondering why would you need to study algorithms.</p>
<p>This is precisely what I will address today. Studying algorithms is important, but the reasons why it’s important may not seem obvious. Today, I will show you what those reasons are.</p>
<p>And let us start with dispelling a common misconception — that, allegedly, knowledge of algorithms is absolutely critical if you want to be a professional software developer.</p>
<h1>Knowledge of algorithms isn’t always required</h1>
<p>Software development consists of many specialist areas. And, just like there are many areas for which you aren’t required to learn maths beyond school-level basics, there are plenty of areas that don’t require you to know any algorithms at all.</p>
<p>But despite this fact, I don’t want to give people a false impression and encourage aspiring software developers to be mediocre. Whether learning something specific is necessary or not, becoming a software developer requires hard work and dedication. You will still absolutely have to study a lot if you want to have any meaningful success in your software development career.</p>
