Algorithms and Data Structures in C++
Algorithms and Data Structures in C++
Summary:
The book "Algorithms and Data Structures in C++" is a comprehensive practical guide that will help you master fundamental programming concepts through the lens of the C++ language. Whether you are preparing for a technical interview, participating in programming competitions, or simply want to deepen your knowledge, this book will be your reliable assistant.
What is this book about?
The author systematically guides the reader from simple data structures to complex algorithms. Each topic is accompanied by:
- Clear theoretical explanations with visualizations;
- Implementation in modern C++ (C++17/20);
- Evaluation of time and space complexity (Big O);
- Test examples and problems for independent practice.
Main sections of the book:
- Basic Data Structures: arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, hash tables;
- Sorting and Search Algorithms: from bubble sort to quicksort, binary search, interpolation search;
- Trees and Graphs: binary search trees, AVL trees, B-trees, graph traversals (DFS, BFS), Dijkstra's and Floyd's algorithms;
- Dynamic Programming: knapsack problems, longest common subsequence, recursion optimization;
- C++ Standard Library (STL): efficient use of containers, iterators, and algorithms;
- Advanced Topics: string algorithms (KMP, Z-function), two-pointer technique, working with bit masks.
Who is this book for?
- Beginner C++ developers looking to systematize their knowledge;
- Students of technical disciplines studying algorithms;
- Participants in olympiads and competitive programming contests;
- Professionals preparing for technical interviews at IT companies.
What will you learn after reading?
- How to choose the optimal data structure for a specific task;
- How to write efficient and readable C++ code using the STL;
- How to analyze algorithm complexity and avoid common mistakes;
- How to solve classic interview and olympiad problems.
The book is written in a lively, accessible language and contains over 100 ready-made code examples. All algorithms are tested and ready for use in real projects. "Algorithms and Data Structures in C++" is an investment in your professional future that will pay off many times over.
