Java_DSA_Roadmap

The document outlines a comprehensive Java Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA) roadmap, divided into four phases: Java Basics, Core Data Structures, Advanced Data Structures, and Advanced Topics. Each phase includes specific topics, problems to solve, and resources for learning, with an emphasis on practical problem-solving using platforms like LeetCode and GeeksforGeeks. The goal is to prepare learners to tackle medium to hard coding interview problems within 3-4 months.
