How and where to use the skills of algorithms and data structures if there is no big project?

Question

Java

Hello! Learned at least basic skills in algorithms and data structures. But I don't have any big projects and I have nothing to optimize and improve. Where can I practice my skills? Or what big Java project can I create? Maybe some site with Java backend? What can you advise?

Answer 1

I'll tell you a terrible secret: these skills are rarely practiced in any large projects. I advise you to write application code, and not pray for algorithms.
