Data Structures & Algorithms in Swift (Third Edition): Implementing Practical Data Structures with Swift

<strong>Learn Data Structures & Algorithms in Swift!</strong><p>Data structures and algorithms form the basis of computer programming and are the starting point for anyone looking to become a software engineer. Choosing the right data structure and algorithm involves understanding the many details and trade-offs of using them, which can be time-consuming to learn — and confusing.</p><p>This is where this book, Data Structures & Algorithms in Swift, comes to the rescue! In this book, you’ll learn the nuts and bolts of how fundamental data structures and algorithms work by using easy-to-follow tutorials, loaded with illustrations; you'll also learn by working in Swift playground code.</p><strong>Who This Book Is For</strong><p>This book is for developers who know the basics of Swift syntax and want a better theoretical understanding of what data structures and algorithms are in order to build more complex programs or ace a whiteboard interview.</p><strong>Topics Covered in Data Structures & Algorithms in Swift</strong><p><li>Basic data structures and algorithm including stacks, queues and linked lists.</li><li>How protocols can be used to generalize algorithms.</li><li>How to leverage the algorithms of the Swift standard library with your own data structures.</li><li>Trees, tries and graphs.</li><li>Building algorithms on top of other primitives.</li><li>A complete spectrum of sorting algorithms from simple to advanced.</li><li>How to think about algorithmic complexity.</li><li>Finding shortest paths, traversals, subgraphs and much more.</li><p>After reading this book, you’ll have a solid foundation on data structures and algorithms and be ready to elegantly solve more complex problems in your apps.</p>
