{"product_id":"9781617295485","title":"Algorithms and Data Structures in Action by Marcello La Rocca","description":"As a software engineer, you'll encounter countless programming challenges that initially seem confusing, difficult, or even impossible. Don't despair! Many of these \"new\" problems already have well-established solutions.?Advanced Algorithms and Data Structures?teaches you powerful approaches to a wide range of tricky coding challenges that you can adapt and apply to your own applications. Providing a balanced blend of classic, advanced, and new algorithms, this practical guide upgrades your programming toolbox with new perspectives and hands-on techniques.         about the technology  Data structures and algorithms are the foundations for how programs store and process information. Choosing the optimal algorithms ensures that your programs are fast, efficient, and reliable.       about the book    Algorithms and Data Structures in Action expands on the basic algorithms you already know to give you a better selection of solutions to different programming problems. In it, you'll discover techniques for improving priority queues, efficient caching, clustering data, and more. Each example is fully illustrated with graphics, language agnostic pseudo-code, and code samples in various languages. When you're done, you will be able to implement advanced and little-known algorithms to deliver better performance from your code.            what's inside    Improving on basic data structuresEfficient cachingNearest neighbour search, including k-d trees and S-treesFull `pseudo-code' and samples in multiple languages          about the readerFor programmers with basic or intermediate skills. Written in a language-agnostic manner, no specific language knowledge is required.          about the author    Marcello La Rocca    ?is a research scientist and a full-stack engineer focused on optimization algorithms, genetic algorithms, machine learning and quantum computing. He has contributed to large-scale web applications at companies like Twitter and Microsoft, has undertaken applied research in both academia and industry, and authored the Neatsort adaptive sorting algorithm.     ?  ?    ?\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56312663277941,"sku":"9781617295485","price":47.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781617295485.jpg?v=1762823192","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781617295485","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
