A Practical Introduction to Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis


Book Description

This practical text contains fairly "traditional" coverage of data structures with a clear and complete use of algorithm analysis, and some emphasis on file processing techniques as relevant to modern programmers. It fully integrates OO programming with these topics, as part of the detailed presentation of OO programming itself.Chapter topics include lists, stacks, and queues; binary and general trees; graphs; file processing and external sorting; searching; indexing; and limits to computation.For programmers who need a good reference on data structures.




Data Structures using C


Book Description

The data structure is a set of specially organized data elements and functions, which are defined to store, retrieve, remove and search for individual data elements.

Data Structures using C: A Practical Approach for Beginners book will help students learn data structure and algorithms in a focused way. Resolves linear and nonlinear data structures in C language using the algorithm, diagrammatically and its time and space complexity analysis Covers interview questions and MCQs on all topics of campus readiness Identifies possible solutions to each problem Includes real-life and computational applications of linear and nonlinear data structures This book is primarily aimed at undergraduates and graduates of computer science and information technology. Students of all engineering disciplines will also find this book useful.




A Common-Sense Guide to Data Structures and Algorithms, Second Edition


Book Description

Algorithms and data structures are much more than abstract concepts. Mastering them enables you to write code that runs faster and more efficiently, which is particularly important for today’s web and mobile apps. Take a practical approach to data structures and algorithms, with techniques and real-world scenarios that you can use in your daily production code, with examples in JavaScript, Python, and Ruby. This new and revised second edition features new chapters on recursion, dynamic programming, and using Big O in your daily work. Use Big O notation to measure and articulate the efficiency of your code, and modify your algorithm to make it faster. Find out how your choice of arrays, linked lists, and hash tables can dramatically affect the code you write. Use recursion to solve tricky problems and create algorithms that run exponentially faster than the alternatives. Dig into advanced data structures such as binary trees and graphs to help scale specialized applications such as social networks and mapping software. You’ll even encounter a single keyword that can give your code a turbo boost. Practice your new skills with exercises in every chapter, along with detailed solutions. Use these techniques today to make your code faster and more scalable.




Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis in C++, Third Edition


Book Description

Comprehensive treatment focuses on creation of efficient data structures and algorithms and selection or design of data structure best suited to specific problems. This edition uses C++ as the programming language.




Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis in C+


Book Description

In this second edition of his successful book, experienced teacher and author Mark Allen Weiss continues to refine and enhance his innovative approach to algorithms and data structures. Written for the advanced data structures course, this text highlights theoretical topics such as abstract data types and the efficiency of algorithms, as well as performance and running time. Before covering algorithms and data structures, the author provides a brief introduction to C++ for programmers unfamiliar with the language. Dr Weiss's clear writing style, logical organization of topics, and extensive use of figures and examples to demonstrate the successive stages of an algorithm make this an accessible, valuable text. New to this Edition *An appendix on the Standard Template Library (STL) *C++ code, tested on multiple platforms, that conforms to the ANSI ISO final draft standard 0201361221B04062001




Compact Data Structures


Book Description

This practical, applications-oriented book describes essential tools for efficiently handling massive amounts of data.




Data Structure and Algorithms Using C++


Book Description

Everyone knows that programming plays a vital role as a solution to automate and execute a task in a proper manner. Irrespective of mathematical problems, the skills of programming are necessary to solve any type of problems that may be correlated to solve real life problems efficiently and effectively. This book is intended to flow from the basic concepts of C++ to technicalities of the programming language, its approach and debugging. The chapters of the book flow with the formulation of the problem, it's designing, finding the step-by-step solution procedure along with its compilation, debugging and execution with the output. Keeping in mind the learner’s sentiments and requirements, the exemplary programs are narrated with a simple approach so that it can lead to creation of good programs that not only executes properly to give the output, but also enables the learners to incorporate programming skills in them. The style of writing a program using a programming language is also emphasized by introducing the inclusion of comments wherever necessary to encourage writing more readable and well commented programs. As practice makes perfect, each chapter is also enriched with practice exercise questions so as to build the confidence of writing the programs for learners. The book is a complete and all-inclusive handbook of C++ that covers all that a learner as a beginner would expect, as well as complete enough to go ahead with advanced programming. This book will provide a fundamental idea about the concepts of data structures and associated algorithms. By going through the book, the reader will be able to understand about the different types of algorithms and at which situation and what type of algorithms will be applicable.




Algorithms and Data Structures


Book Description

With numerous practical, real-world algorithms presented in the C programming language, Bowman's Algorithms and Data Structures: An Approach in C is the algorithms text for courses that take a modern approach. For the one- or two-semester undergraduate course in data structures, it instructs students on the science of developing and analyzing algorithms. Bowman focuses on both the theoretical and practical aspects of algorithm development. He discusses problem-solving techniques and introduces the concepts of data abstraction and algorithm efficiency. More importantly, the text does not present algorithms in a "shopping-list" format. Rather it provides actual insight into the design process itself.




Open Data Structures


Book Description

Introduction -- Array-based lists -- Linked lists -- Skiplists -- Hash tables -- Binary trees -- Random binary search trees -- Scapegoat trees -- Red-black trees -- Heaps -- Sorting algorithms -- Graphs -- Data structures for integers -- External memory searching.




Data Structures and Algorithms in Java


Book Description

The design and analysis of efficient data structures has long been recognized as a key component of the Computer Science curriculum. Goodrich, Tomassia and Goldwasser's approach to this classic topic is based on the object-oriented paradigm as the framework of choice for the design of data structures. For each ADT presented in the text, the authors provide an associated Java interface. Concrete data structures realizing the ADTs are provided as Java classes implementing the interfaces. The Java code implementing fundamental data structures in this book is organized in a single Java package, net.datastructures. This package forms a coherent library of data structures and algorithms in Java specifically designed for educational purposes in a way that is complimentary with the Java Collections Framework.
