This book, “Data Structures and Algorithms with Java” is designed to provide an in-depth understanding of data structures and algorithms and how to implement them using Java. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced programmer, this book will provide you with the knowledge and skills you need to become proficient in data structures and algorithms.
Throughout the book, you’ll learn about a wide range of data structures including arrays, stacks, queues, linked lists, skip lists, hash tables, binary search trees, Cartesian trees, B-trees, red-black trees, splay trees, AVL trees, and KD trees. Additionally, you’ll learn about a wide range of algorithms such as Quicksort, Mergesort, Timsort, Heapsort, bubble sort, insertion sort, selection sort, tree sort, shell sort, bucket sort, radix sort, counting sort, and cubesort.
As you progress through the book, you’ll also learn about algorithm design techniques such as greedy algorithms, dynamic programming, divide and conquer, backtracking, and randomized algorithms. To help you apply and practice the concepts you learn, the course includes hands-on exercises and examples. The book will also cover the Time and Space Complexity of the algorithm and Data Structures, so that you can understand the trade-offs of choosing one over the other.
By the end of the course, you’ll have a solid understanding of data structures and algorithms and how to use them effectively in Java. This book is perfect for anyone who wants to improve their skills as a developer or prepare for a career in computer science or data science.
If you’re ready to begin your journey towards mastering data structures and algorithms with Java, this book is perfect for you, start now and begin your journey towards mastering data structures and algorithms with Java.
Hi, my name is Yasin H. Cakal and I'm a programmer and educator with over 10 years of experience in the field. I have a degree in Computer Science from SUNY Albany and have written many books on various programming languages and topics. Throughout my career, I've had the opportunity to teach programming to students of all skill levels and work on a wide range of projects in both industry and academia. I'm passionate about helping others learn and grow, and I hope that my books can be a valuable resource for anyone looking to get started with programming or improve their existing skills.
Quick Read to Learn How to Code Java Data Structures and Algorithms
This is the fourth web coding book I’ve read by this author, and so far I mostly like what I see. To give you some context, I've been doing basic web coding for decades but haven’t really dug into data structures beyond simple ones like arrays. The book has a logical organization and flow, starting with the basics and adding more complex ideas as the book progresses. Data structures discussed include arrays, stacks, queues, linked lists, skip lists, hash tables, and all manner of trees (binary search, Cartesian, B-trees, red-black, splay, AVL, and KD). Algorithms include ones for sorting (Quicksort, Mergesort, Timsort, Heapsort, bubble sort, insertion sort, selection sort, tree sort, shell sort, bucket sort, radix sort, counting sort, and cubesort), searching, and optimization. The book has plenty of coding examples, though I'm not wild that they are shown as faint colored text on a black background; that’s hard for these old eyes to read! You'll understand important terms in Java and see them in action working with data structures and algorithms. You will also get a deeper understanding of how to work with data structures and algorithms in Java and what they can do for your web pages. While I love the no-nonsense, no-fluff approach, I'm not wild about the book’s Q&A aspect, and I'm not sure why the author thought it important to have it at all, let alone emphasize in the book's subtitle. The end of each short topic has an exercise and solution section far too reminiscent of what you run across in textbooks. I'm way past the age of using those. I don’t think self-motivated adult users need that. They're not all straightforward comprehension questions, either. Sometimes the author asks you to write a paragraph describing a concept just discussed! Please! But that and the code snippet background/text problem are the only issues I have with this book. The information is solid. If you want to deepen your Java skills or start learning about how you can use it to manipulate data and perform common algorithms, this is a great book to check out.
I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.
