A good programmer always looks for data Structure more rather than the code itself.

Even this answer might be helpful for someone who wants to pursue his/her carrier in the field of CSE. To get placed into big MNCs you don't need to cover all the courses of CSE instead you should finish the courses which can help you in writing a Good Programme.
