Summary Grokking Algorithms is a fully illustrated, friendly guide that teaches you how to apply common algorithms to the practical problems you face every day as a programmer. You'll start with sorting and searching and, as you build up your skills in thinking algorithmically, you'll tackle more complex concerns such as data compression and artificial intelligence. Each carefully presented example includes helpful diagrams and fully annotated code samples in Python. Learning about algorithms doesn't have to be boring! Get a sneak peek at the fun, illustrated, and friendly examples you'll find in Grokking Algorithms on Manning Publications' YouTube channel. Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications. About the Technology An algorithm is nothing more than a step-by-step procedure for solving a problem. 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. About the Book Grokking Algorithms 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. What's Inside Covers search, sort, and graph algorithms Over 400 pictures with detailed walkthroughs Performance trade-offs between algorithms Python-based code samples About the Reader This easy-to-read, picture-heavy introduction is suitable for self-taught programmers, engineers, or anyone who wants to brush up on algorithms.

иллюстрированное пособие для программистов и любопытствующих

Грокаем алгоритмы

Um guia ilustrado para programadores e outros curiosos. Um algoritmo nada mais é do que um procedimento passo a passo para a resolução de um problema. Os algoritmos que você mais utilizará como um programador já foram descobertos, testados e provados. Se você quer entendê-los, mas se recusa a estudar páginas e mais páginas de provas, este é o livro certo. Este guia cativante e completamente ilustrado torna simples aprender como utilizar os principais algoritmos nos seus programas. O livro Entendendo Algoritmos apresenta uma abordagem agradável para esse tópico essencial da ciência da computação. Nele, você aprenderá como aplicar algoritmos comuns nos problemas de programação enfrentados diariamente. Você começará com tarefas básicas como a ordenação e a pesquisa. Com a prática, você enfrentará problemas mais complexos, como a compressão de dados e a inteligência artificial. Cada exemplo é apresentado em detalhes e inclui diagramas e códigos completos em Python. Ao final deste livro, você terá dominado algoritmos amplamente aplicáveis e saberá quando e onde utilizá-los. O que este livro inclui A abordagem de algoritmos de pesquisa, ordenação e algoritmos gráficos Mais de 400 imagens com descrições detalhadas Comparações de desempenho entre algoritmos Exemplos de código em Python Este livro de fácil leitura e repleto de imagens é destinado a programadores autodidatas, engenheiros ou pessoas que gostariam de recordar o assunto.
