learning data structure and algorithm

is it possible to learn data structure and algorithm first, before learning programming??? is it possible to be a good Coder without learning data structure and algorithm???

My thoughts are that it would be hard to be an excellent programer without​ learning data structures and algorithms. You should still be able to solve any problem, however you would easily miss ideas​ that would make your code much much faster. Can you learn algorithms​ before​ programing​? I think so. Technically when you learn to add long numbers, or do long division, you are learning to follow an algorithm. Also even a child that knows​ nothing about programing (or has never seen a computer, if there's any left) you could show them how to sort a bookshelf, and demonstrate that quick sort is faster than insertion sort.

Data Structures and algorithm are an important part of coding. Basically, why one code overpower other is mainly because of its algorithm. Hence, u cannot think u excelling at coding without them. You may learn data structure and algorithm first but learning them with a programming language will enable u to absorb them quickly and easily and quite better too.

In my opinion, we should learn the logic inside a programming language before we get into the learning of data structure and complex algorithm. Our effors of learning the basic of a language will pay off as we will be easier to understand the algorithm thus it will help us to be better in programming field. 😉

To implement data structures you need to be familiar with programming first A good coder or good coding depends upon the effective algorithm design

You can start learning data structure and algorithm, and write a pseudo code with out programming language. Then you can learn any programming language easy and quickly.
