Data Structure and Algorithm: Simply In Depth

Abstract

The book is self-contained and does not assume any prior knowledge of data structures, just a comprehension of basic programming and mathematics tools generally learned at the very beginning of computer science or other related studies. Through this book I hope that you will see the absolute necessity of understanding which data structure or algorithm to use for a certain scenario. In all projects, especially those that are concerned with performance (here we apply an even greater emphasis on real-time systems) the selection of the wrong data structure or algorithm can be the cause of a great deal of performance pain. The chapters cover: Models of Computation, Lists, Induction and Recursion, Trees, Algorithm Design, Hashing, Heaps, Balanced Trees, Sets Over a Small Universe, Graphs, Strings.
