Building on Robert Lafore's legendary Java-based guide, this book helps you understand exactly how data structures and algorithms operate. You'll learn how to efficiently apply them with the enormously popular Python language and scale your code to handle today's big data challenges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThroughout, the authors focus on real-world examples, communicate key ideas with intuitive, interactive visualizations, and limit complexity and math to what you need to improve performance. Step-by-step, they introduce arrays, sorting, stacks, queues, linked lists, recursion, binary trees, 2-3-4 trees, hash tables, spatial data structures, graphs, and more. Their code examples and illustrations are so clear, you can understand them even if you're a near-beginner, or your experience is with other procedural or object-oriented languages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003eBuild core computer science skills that take you beyond merely “writing code”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003eLearn how data structures make programs (and programmers) more efficient\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003eSee how data organization and algorithms affect how much you can do with today's, and tomorrow's, computing resources\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003eDevelop data structure implementation skills you can use in any language\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003eChoose the best data structure(s) and algorithms for each programming problem―and recognize which ones to avoid\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eData Structures \u0026amp; Algorithms in Python\u003c\/i\u003e is packed with examples, review questions, individual and team exercises, thought experiments, and longer programming projects.
