A Common-Sense Guide to Data Structures and Algorithms in Python

A Common-Sense Guide to Data Structures and Algorithms in PythonAbout the BookIf you thought data structures and algorithms were all just theory, youre missing out on what they can do for your Python code. Learn to use Big O notation to make your code run faster orders of magnitude. Choose from data structures such as hash tables, trees, and graphs to increase your codes efficiency exponentially. With simple language and clear diagrams, this book makes this complex topic accessible, no matter your background.

About the BookIf you thought data structures and algorithms were all just theory, youre missing out on what they can do for your Python code. Learn to use Big O notation to make your code run faster orders of magnitude. Choose from data structures such as hash tables, trees, and graphs to increase your codes efficiency exponentially. With simple language and clear diagrams, this book makes this complex topic accessible, no matter your background. Every chapter features practice exercises to give you the hands-on information you need to master data structures and algorithms for your day-to-day work.This new edition uses Python exclusively as its language for all code implementations, in both the main text as well as the exercises and solutions. Python has its own unique set of capabilities and constraints, so all the algorithms have been optimized for use in Python. Additionally, all Python code now follows the PEP 8 style guide and Python 3 (in addition to Python 2).About the AuthorJay Wengrow, an experienced educator and software engineer, is the founder of Actualize, an award-winning US coding bootcamp. He is passionate about simplifying the complex, and making software development more accessible breaking the complex down into its simpler, easier parts.
