Algorithms and Data Structures in Rust

The book "Algorithms and Data Structures in Rust" is a comprehensive guide for anyone who wants to master the fundamental concepts of Computer Science in the modern and safe Rust language. The author, Alexey Voronov, an experienced developer and teacher, guides the reader step by step from basic concepts to complex algorithmic problems, using only idiomatic and efficient Rust code.

Unlike many books that simply list algorithms, this edition focuses on practical application: each chapter contains not only theory but also ready-made implementations, as well as explanations on optimization and choosing the right data structure for a specific task. You will learn to write code that is fast, safe, and free of memory leaks — this is precisely the strength of Rust.

What you will learn from the book:

• Basic data structures: arrays, vectors, linked lists, stacks, and queues — their implementation and performance comparison.
• Sorting and search algorithms: from bubble sort to quicksort, binary search, and working with trees.
• Trees and graphs: binary search trees, AVL trees, traversals, Dijkstra's and A* algorithms.
• Hash tables and hash maps: how to properly choose hash functions and avoid collisions.
• Dynamic programming: analysis of classic problems (knapsack, Levenshtein, Fibonacci) with step-by-step solutions.
• Memory management: ownership, borrowing, lifetimes — how to write algorithms without copying unnecessary data.
• Testing and benchmarking: how to verify the correctness and speed of your implementations.

Who this book is for:

• Beginner Rust developers who want to delve deeper into algorithms.
• Experienced programmers in other languages (Python, Java, C++) transitioning to Rust.
• Students and teachers looking for a modern textbook with practice.
• Anyone preparing for technical interviews and wanting to solve problems in Rust.

The book is written in a lively, accessible language, and all code examples are available for download and testing. You will not just read the theory — you will solidify your knowledge through practice by solving problems of varying difficulty. By the end of the book, you will be able to confidently implement complex algorithms, optimize performance, and use Rust to build high-load systems.

Whether you are writing a web server, a game engine, or a data processing tool, algorithms and data structures remain the foundation. Make this foundation solid with Rust.
