Description
Welcome to Grokking Algorithms: Advanced Methods to learn and use Grokking Algorithms and Data structures for Programming.Even before the conception of the computer itself, algorithms existed. After the computer was introduced and with all the development that followed, the number of existing algorithms grew increasingly. At this stage, it wouldn't be wrong to say that algorithms are the core of what computing today is capable of. Grokking Algorithms provides a very comprehensive and interesting introduction to the world of computer algorithms. We will look at a lot of algorithms and their uses, and we'll even learn how to manipulate them step by step. Even though the book is aimed at an audience with a more advanced level of knowledge, we have tried to convey most of the explanations and knowledge contained within the book in an easygoing manner to make it easier to understand.
