The algorithms you'll use most often as a programmer have already been discovered, tested, and proven. If you want to understand them but refuse to slog through dense multipage proofs, this is the book for you. This fully illustrated and engaging guide makes it easy to learn how to use the most important algorithms effectively in your own programs. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eGrokking Algorithms\u003c\/i\u003e is a friendly take on this core computer science topic. In it, you'll learn how to apply common algorithms to the practical programming problems you face every day. You'll start with tasks like sorting and searching. As you build up your skills, you'll tackle more complex problems like data compression and artificial intelligence. Each carefully presented example includes helpful diagrams and fully annotated code samples in Python. By the end of this book, you will have mastered widely applicable algorithms as well as how and when to use them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat's Inside\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers search, sort, and graph algorithms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver 400 pictures with detailed walkthroughs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerformance trade-offs between algorithms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePython-based code samples\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Reader\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis easy-to-read, picture-heavy introduction is suitable for self-taught programmers, engineers, or anyone who wants to brush up on algorithms. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAditya Bhargava\u003c\/b\u003e is a Software Engineer with a dual background in Computer Science and Fine Arts.
