Publisher's Synopsis
Algorithms and data structures are much more than abstract concepts. Mastering them enables you to write code that runs faster and more efficiently, which is particularly important for developing software.
It can provide a complete solution that acts like reusable code. In this book, you will learn how to use various data structures while developing in the java language as well as how to implement some of the most common algorithms used with such data structures. You will get to know arrays, lists, linkedlist together with real-world examples of your application. Then, you will learn how to create and use stacks and queues. In the following part of the book, the more complex data structures will be introduced, namely Trees, Red-Black Tree, B-Tree, B+Tree and graphs, together with some algorithms for searching the shortest path in a graph. This book is rich in examples, with beautiful pictures and texts, and step by step explains the data structure and algorithms in a way that is easy to understand.
