DESCRIPTION:
Although the author assumes some moderate familiarity with programming constructs, the book is easily readable by a student taking a basic introductory course in computer science. This book is primarily intended for a first-year undergraduate course in programming. Students and teachers will find this both an excellent text for learning programming and a source of problems for a variety of courses.. Each chapter is more or less independent. It is structured in a problem-solution format that requires the student to think through the programming process, thus developing an understanding of the underlying theory
The best book for programming contests preparation I've ever read Larysa Aharkava That book doesn't contain pure algorithms theory (like Kormen's or Skiena's book), but problems (and most of them are with solutions). Every chapter starts with the simple problem, followed by some discussions of possible solutions, and after more and more challenging tasks ends with pretty tricky problems.The book (in my opinion) is really very practical (well, it contains some theory, but not very formal) and is invaluable for those who are preparing to the programming contests or Google/Microsoft. A good book for training yourself I simply love it: good content, a fairly rich set of algorithmic problems and not too much redundant information.The only drawback I see is the poor text formatting; it feels like an old book, not too many graphics, but mostly text; to me this is not a reason not to give it 5 starts, but it's worth mentioning for those who consider the visual aspect an important criterion.. mixed feelings about this book. Morsi the book seems to have slight to negligible explanations to how the programs solutions really works.my feeling was that this book is the lab book of a textbook meaning it can't stand aloneor the assuming the reader is fluent already.like some other reviewer said it is the perfect book on algorithms interviewsagain meaning that you must know the subject before hand.i'll keep it though.
From the Back CoverAlgorithms and Programming is primarily intended for a first-year undergraduate course in programming. Students and teachers will find this both an excellent text for learning programming and a source of problems for a variety of courses. The book is addressed both to ambitious students and instructors looking for interesting problems and fulfills this task perfectly, especially if the reader has a good mathematical background.
