In this detective story, you'll learn how to use algorithmic tools to solve the case. Runtime scours smugglers' boats with binary search, tails spies with a search tree, escapes a prison with depth-first search, and picks locks with priority queues. Joined by know-it-all rookie Officer Notation and inept tag-along Socks, he follows a series of leads in a best-first search that unravels a deep conspiracy. Each chapter introduces a thrilling twist matched with a new algorithmic concept, ending with a technical recap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-top: -4px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: justify; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003ePerfect for computer science students and amateur sleuths alike, \u003ci\u003eThe CS Detective\u003c\/i\u003e adds an entertaining twist to learning algorithms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-top: -4px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: justify; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003eFollow Frank's mission and learn:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe algorithms behind best-first and depth-first search, iterative deepening, parallelizing, binary search, and more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBasic computational concepts like strings, arrays, stacks, and queues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to adapt search algorithms to unusual data structures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe most efficient algorithms to use in a given situation, and when to apply common-sense heuristic methods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout The Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small; font-family: \" amazon ember arial sans-serif box-sizing: border-box font-weight:\u003eJeremy Kubica\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small; font-family: \" amazon ember arial sans-serif\u003e is a principal engineer at Google working on machine learning and algorithms.
