Understanding the Role of the Root Node in Decision Trees

Decision trees are both simple and effective algorithms in machine learning. Whether you're predicting product sales or classifying a disease, decision trees offer a clear path. The most important part of these trees is the root node. This term, used in Turkish as "kök node," is the point that initiates the tree's entire decision-making process. In this article, we will […]

Understanding Dynamic Programming: A Guide with Code Examples

Dynamic programming (DP) is an incredibly powerful method for solving complex problems in computer science. It solves large problems by breaking them down into smaller, recursive subproblems, saving time by calculating each subproblem only once and storing the result. It's frequently used in fields like finance, bioinformatics, and optimization. This guide will cover the basics of dynamic programming, how it works, and how to implement it with Python.

Genetic Algorithm: Evolving Perfect Sorting

Sorting is a cornerstone of computer science. Classic algorithms like Bubble Sort, Quick Sort, and Merge Sort have been optimized and widely used for years. But there's also a more unusual method: the Genetic Algorithm. Inspired by natural selection and evolution, we'll explore this innovative approach to sorting lists. In this article, we'll cover the basics of the genetic algorithm, how it works, and how to use it with Python […]

Depth-First Search (DFS) Algorithm Guide

In the world of graph theory and algorithms, Depth-First Search (DFS) is a fundamental and versatile tool. Used to explore and scan graph data structures, this algorithm is indispensable in many areas, including pathfinding, cycle detection, and topological sorting. In this guide, we'll delve into the fundamentals of DFS, its applications, and practical examples with Python. Using examples from my own experience, I'll help you […]

Quick Sort Guide: Divide and Conquer Algorithm

Sorting is a cornerstone of computer science. It's found everywhere, from databases to search algorithms. Among the many sorting algorithms, Quick Sort is both fast and widely used. Developed by Tony Hoare in 1960, this algorithm stands out for its "divide and conquer" approach. This guide will explain how Quick Sort works, its time complexity, and its use in different programming languages.
