About
You suddenly remember you need to call your aunt and wish her a happy birthday, but how do you find her number quickly in a giant phonebook? Write a program that will solve this problem once and for all. Create a phonebook that allows you to find the information you need quickly and easily. Names and numbers, here we come.
Graduate project
This project covers the core topics of the Kotlin Developer course, making it sufficiently challenging to be a proud addition to your portfolio.
At least one graduate project is required to complete the course.
What you'll learn
Once you choose a project, we'll provide you with a study plan that includes all the necessary topics from your course to get it built. Here’s what awaits you:
Start with linear search: find data in an unordered database.
Sort your data before searching using Bubble Sort algorithm, and then apply Jump Search to find a number you’re after.
Speed up the process with the help of QuickSort and Binary Search.
Search the data inside the large dataset in zero seconds.

The project is good for understanding algorithms, but it’s still a pity that everything is tested on only one dataset

I have learned to use different kind of sorting and searching methods.There were some difficulties with implementing those methods right way, but after I read those topics again and again I managed finish it.

I've learned about basic searching and sorting algorithms in computer science. This project has instilled a curiosity in myself to do in more depth study about different data structures and their runtime behavior.
