Have you always wanted to learn how you can develop a complex program? Did you want to learn how you can use algorithms to outline a program and develop it? If you did, you have come to the right place.
An algorithm is a set of rules or instructions that you provide to a system to perform a specific process. It is important for you, as a budding programmer, to understand what an algorithm is and how you can define it. It is only when you know how to develop an algorithm that you can develop the code that will execute that algorithm. Throughout this book, you will gather information on:
- What an algorithm is
- The characteristics of an algorithm
- How you define an algorithm
- Types of algorithms
- Describing an algorithm
- Analyzing an algorithm based on time and space complexities
- Sorting algorithms like quicksort, mergesort and more
- Searching algorithms like binary search and linear searchThis book will also show you how you can implement the sorting and searching algorithms in the C programming language. Since an algorithm is only a set of instructions, you can implement it across all programming languages. All you need to do is understand the syntax and the other properties of the language.So, what are you waiting for? If you want to strengthen your understanding of the use of algorithms in computer science, then grab a copy of this book today.
