Finding the Lowest Common Ancestor of a pair of nodes in a tree can be helpful in a variety of problems in areas such as information retrieval, where it is used with suffix trees for string matching. Read on for the basics of this in Python.

Kruskal's algorithm finds a minimum spanning tree in an undirected, connected and weighted graph. We will use a union-find algorithm to do this, and generate a random maze from a grid of points.

D3 has a built-in force to detect circle collisions in force layouts, but what if you're working with rectangles? In this post we will go over how to detect and resolve collisions, and then adapt D3's built-in forceCollide to work on rectangles.

In part II of building arc diagrams in D3.js we will build the actual diagram with data from ride hailing app trips we prepared in Part I. Drawing the arc is the most complicated part of this visualization, and we will go through it step by step.

You might be familiar with force layouts in D3.js to create things like bubble charts, network graphs and many other types of visualizations. In this post we will create a force layout bubble chart with multiple clusters along a timeline.

For many of us, going out to restaurants and bars is but a distant memory, and you might want to make your own cocktails at home. In this post we will build a program in Python to tell you what cocktails you can make from a list of input ingredients.

Today I will go over what a force-directed graph is and how to build one in D3.js. This graph is built using data extracted from New York Times articles to show items that are talked about in the articles.
