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 YouTube.
If you want to get more from the classic algorithms inside this book then be sure to check out Algorithms in Motion. Together this book and video course make the perfect duo.
Given my day job I should probably more books like these, but then there aren't many that has cool illustrations and cooler examples. This book is one of a kind <3
yes, the basics has been explained but there is little use in there, in those examples.
the most crucial algos were briefly covered in the last chapter of this book (literally, 5-10 sentences each).
the book is way too general imho
An easy to understand book on popular algorithms, although it was a bit disjointed. It felt more like a collection of articles than a book. But that's okay, each article was informative and enjoyable.
