A friendly, fully-illustrated introduction to the most important computer programming algorithms.The algorithms you'll use most often as a programmer have already been discovered, tested, and proven. This book will prepare you for those pesky algorithms questions in every programming job interview and help you apply them in your day-to-day work. And if you want to understand them without slogging through dense multipage proofs, this is the book for you.
In
Grokking Algorithms, Second Edition you will discover:
- Search, sort, and graph algorithms
