You’ve now seen advanced structures and techniques.
What you learned - performance thinking - trees, heaps, graphs - caching and DP - advanced patterns
Big decision idea ```mermaid flowchart TD A[Problem] --> B{Need speed?} B --> C[Heap / Cache] B --> D{Need ranges?} D --> E[Segment / Fenwick] D --> F{Need relations?} F --> G[Graph / DSU] ```
Final advice - start simple - only use advanced tools when needed - clarity beats cleverness
Congratulations You now understand **advanced data structures** and how to think like a problem solver.
