Developers use algorithms and data structures every day of their working lives. Having a good under-standing of these algorithms and knowledge of when to apply them is essential to producing softwarethat not only works correctly, but also performs efficiently. This book aims to explain those algorithms and data structures most commonly encountered in day-to-day software development, while remaining at all times practical, concise, and to the point, with little orno verbiage to distract from the core concepts and examples.
