Book Description

July 21, 1995 0471109851 978-0471109853 1
The most complete collection of C++ sorting, searching, and selecting algorithms available anywhere...

Every computer program performs sorting, searching, and selection, and Classical Algorithms in C++ gives you everything you need to design, test, and implement powerful, efficient algorithms in C++ to perform these tasks. You'll learn to easily incorporate a wide range of algorithms into new and existing C++ programs. This unique book/disk set provides the most sophisticated algorithm analysis techniques you'll find anywhere, along with expert practical advice on how to maximize the performance of algorithms and data structures.

Inside you'll find:

  • Ready-to-use examples of C++ algorithms and data structures
  • Each algorithm analyzed, dissected, and fully explained
  • Implementations using the most recent features of C++, including templates and exception handling
  • A variety of powerful sorting algorithms including Selection Sort, Insertion Sort, Merge Sort, Quicksort, and Heapsort
  • Unique and efficient implementation of Binary Heaps
  • Searching algorithms including Linear Search, Binary Search, and Interpolation Search
  • Data structures for searching, such as linear lists, skip lists, and several types of binary trees
  • Techniques for performing selection on arrays and dynamic data sets

On the disk you'll find:

  • The author's exclusive C++ class library, which allows you to implement all algorithms and data structures in the book
  • Extensive sample code for using and testing data structures and algorithms

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Using a practical rather than theoretical approach, this hands-on guide describes how to design and implement powerful and efficient data-sorting, -searching and -selecting algorithms in C++ that can be applied immediately. Besides discussing asymptotic runtimes, constant factors for different algorithms are measured and compared. Of special note is the author's use of two features of modern C++: templates and exception handling.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Reference for students of Computer Science, March 7, 1998

This review is from: Classical Algorithms in C++: With New Approaches to Sorting, Searching, and Selection (Paperback)
This is by far one of the clearest most easily understandable studies of the complex topic of algorithm analysis and data structure analysis. The author, utlizing a practical approach, creates an easy to read experience, and a very enjoyable one. Overall, an excellent text, and I recommend it to anyone who has ever tried to figure out what the difference between a red-black tree and a binary search tree really was.
