DSA-PATHWAY

---

🚀 Overview

DSA Pathway is an interactive web platform designed to teach Data Structures and Algorithms from first principles.

Instead of memorizing patterns like traditional platforms, this project focuses on helping users understand:

• why an algorithm exists
• what problem it solves
• how data structures lead to algorithm design

The goal is deep understanding, not surface-level problem solving.

---

🧠 Objective

The core objective is to build a system where users learn DSA through reasoning and intuition.

Learning Philosophy

Root Problem
→ Visual Intuition
→ Data Structure Choice
→ Algorithm (BFS / DFS)
→ Code Implementation
→ Practice Problems
→ Time Complexity Analysis
