Description
For professional software developers, getting a program to work is just the beginning: it must work efficiently, making the most of limited time, memory and disk space. This book explains and illustrates a series of algorithms that can dramatically improve the efficiency of many C++ programs. Coverage includes data compression; dynamic hashing and caching; stripfiles, bitmaps and arithmetic coding. Among the book's powerful algorithms, the author presents a little-known sorting algorithm that can dramatically increase the sort performance of large databases. In addition, he presents an advanced hashing algorithm that dynamically resizes its capacity. The book presents many real-life examples based on practical experience, and it's written to be "programmer-friendly," with no unexplained jargon.
