E-Books →Fabulous Adventures in Data Structures and Algorithms (MEAP V02)

There's a lot more to algorithms than the useful-but-boring recipes you recite for every interview. This unique book introduces a collection of amazing algorithms that have the potential to change the way you program.
Fabulous Adventures in Data Structures and Algorithms shows you how to
Build efficient, double-ended queues from immutable parts
Auto-format structured text so it always looks sharp
Generate and manipulation random numbers from custom distributions using the same tools you use for sequences
Harness immutability to squeeze data smaller while speeding up repeated computations
Uncover the mathematical structures underlying lists, nullables, functions, tasks and probabilities
In Fabulous Adventures in Data Structures and Algorithms, language designer and C# legend Eric Lippert explores exciting, esoteric, and exotic data structures and algorithms that will expand your programming toolbox, and your horizons. You'll upend the way you think about lists, learn the algorithms behind powerful developer tools, and rethink how to handle stochastic quantities in modern programming languages.
about the book
Fabulous Adventures in Data Structures and Algorithms teaches you how to solve programming challenges with lesser-known algorithmic approaches. You'll begin by examining immutable data structures-stacks, queues, deques, and unusual constructions like Hughes lists-that take on conventional assumptions about performance.
