Algorithms and Data Structures in C++: From Basics to Advanced Techniques
Algorithms and Data Structures in C++: From Basics to Advanced Techniques
Summary:
The book "Algorithms and Data Structures in C++" is a comprehensive guide for those who want to master the fundamental concepts of Computer Science in C++. The author consistently guides the reader from simple data types to complex graph algorithms, accompanying each step with clear examples and ready-to-use code.
What you will find in the book:
- Basic structures: arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, hash tables — their implementation in C++ from scratch.
- Sorting and searching algorithms: from bubble sort to quicksort, binary search, interpolation search.
- Trees and graphs: binary search trees, AVL trees, red-black trees, graph traversals (BFS, DFS), Dijkstra's and Prim's algorithms.
- Dynamic programming: problems on recursion, memoization, LCS, the knapsack problem.
- Working with STL: containers (vector, map, set), iterators, algorithms from the standard library.
- Optimization: complexity analysis O(n), Big O notation, choosing the right structure for a specific task.
Who this book is for:
- Beginner C++ developers looking to systematize their knowledge.
- Students of technical majors studying programming.
- Practicing programmers preparing for interviews (LeetCode, Codeforces).
- Anyone who wants to write faster and more reliable C++ code.
What you will learn:
- Implement basic data structures manually and using STL.
- Choose optimal algorithms for typical tasks.
- Understand the internal workings of standard C++ containers.
- Write code that runs fast and doesn't leak memory.
- Solve intermediate and advanced problems on competitive programming platforms.
Each chapter contains theoretical material, code examples with comments, exercises for independent work, and self-test questions. The code from the book is posted on GitHub and available for download.
This book will become your reliable companion in learning algorithms in C++ — from your first "Hello World" to complex multithreaded solutions.
