Knowing how to design algorithms will take you from being a good programmer to a great programmer. This revised second edition teaches you how to design your own rocket-fast, right-for-the-task algorithms-minus the proofs and complex math. Author and award-winning educator Dan Zingaro draws problems from online programming competitions to teach you heavyweights like hash tables, recursion, trees, graphs, and heaps. You'll build a toolkit of go-to algorithms for quickly and correctly solving any problem.

Knowing how to design algorithms will take you from being a good programmer to a great programmer. This completely revised second edition teaches you how to design your own rocket-fast, right-for-the-task algorithms - minus the proofs and complex math. Forget the useless pseudocode and played-out examples you've seen in other books. Author and award-winning educator Dan Zingaro draws problems straight from online programming competitions to rigorously teach you all of the heavyweights you need to know, like hash tables, recursion, trees, graphs, and heaps. As he guides you to the perfect algorithmic solution for each unique programming puzzle, you'll build up a toolkit of go-to algorithms for quickly and correctly solving any problem you come across. The second edition features several entirely new chapters on dynamic programming and randomized algorithms, as well as more effective problems and enhanced explanations. Code examples are provided using the C language. Learn how to:

Classify problems and determine the best algorithm to solve them.

Implement algorithms efficiently and effectively in C.

Analyze the time and space complexity of algorithms.

Apply algorithms to real-world programming problems.

Improve your problem-solving skills and become a more versatile programmer.

Whether you're a beginner or an experienced programmer, this book will help you take your algorithmic skills to the next level. So why wait? Start designing your own algorithms today and become the programmer you've always wanted to be!
