With beautifully simple explanations, over 400 fun illustrations, and dozens of relevant examples, you’ll actually enjoy learning about algorithms with this fun and friendly guide!
In Grokking Algorithms, Second Edition you will
Search, sort, and graph algorithms. Data structures such as arrays, lists, hash tables, trees, and graphs. NP-complete and greedy algorithms. Performance trade-offs between algorithms. Exercises and code samples in every chapter. Over 400 illustrations with detailed walkthroughs. The first edition of Grokking Algorithms proved to over 100,000 readers that learning algorithms doesn't have to be complicated or boring! This revised second edition contains brand new coverage of trees, including binary search trees, balanced trees, B-trees, and more. You’ll also discover fresh insights on data structure performance that takes account of modern CPUs. Plus, the book’s fully annotated code samples have been updated to Python 3.
About the Grokking Algorithms, Second Edition teaches you important algorithms to speed up your programs, simplify your code, and solve common programming problems. Start with tasks like sorting and searching, then build your skills to tackle advanced problems like data compression and artificial intelligence. You’ll even learn to compare the performance tradeoffs between algorithms. Plus, this new edition includes fresh coverage of trees, NP-complete problems, and code updates to Python 3.
