A Common-Sense Guide to Data Structures and Algorithms
Book description
If you thought that data structures and algorithms were all just theory, you're missing out on what they can do for your code. Learn to use Big O Notation to make your code run faster by orders of magnitude. Choose from data structures such as hash tables, trees, and graphs…
Why read it?
1 author picked A Common-Sense Guide to Data Structures and Algorithms as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
For an overview book that focuses on intuition—a book that is intentionally designed to evade formality—to make my list, it has to be really, really good. This one is. I appreciate the inclusion of real code in multiple programming languages and the step-by-step traces of algorithms. I appreciate the care taken with the Big O material and the way that abstract data types are introduced. This is one of very few books whose recursion material I like—the ‘napkin’ approach to recursion is wonderfully done.
From Daniel's list on for actually learning how to design algorithms.
