Grokking Algorithms is a friendly guide that teaches you how to apply common algorithms to the practical problems you face every day as a programmer. Youll start with sorting and searching and, as you build up your skills in thinking algorithmically, youll tackle more complex concerns such as data compression and artificial intelligence. Learning about algorithms doesnt have to be boring!, An algorithm is nothing more than a step-by-step procedure for solving a problem. The algorithms youll use most often as a programmer have already been discovered, tested, and proven. If you want to understand them but refuse to slog through dense multipage proofs, this is the book for you. This engaging guide makes it easy to learn how to use the most important algorithms effectively in your own programs., Contents include:, Introduction to algorithms Selection sort Recursion Quicksort Hash tables Breadth-first search Dijkstras algorithm Greedy algorithms Dynamic programming K-nearest neighbors This
