Algorithms
Book description
This fourth edition of Robert Sedgewick and Kevin Wayne's Algorithms is the leading textbook on algorithms today and is widely used in colleges and universities worldwide. This book surveys the most important computer algorithms currently in use and provides a full treatment of data structures and algorithms for sorting, searching,…
Why read it?
1 author picked Algorithms as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Many of my favourite algorithms books give short shrift to designing APIs for the algorithms and data structures that they present. The Sedgewick and Wayne book, by contrast, goes all in on an object-oriented API design. This is my book choice for Java programmers and those interested in larger program design considerations. Clear your calendar: each chapter here is massive, but I think the time investment is worth it. I especially like the chapter that shows how to tune classic algorithms for realizing speedups when working with strings.
From Daniel's list on for actually learning how to design algorithms.
