Fabulous Adventures in Data Structures and Algorithms

Description

Fabulous Adventures in Data Structures and Algorithms teaches you how to solve programming challenges with lesser-known algorithmic approaches. You’ll begin by examining immutable data structures—stacks, queues, deques, and unusual constructions like Hughes lists—that take on conventional assumptions about performance.

Next, you’ll investigate algorithms drawn from building developer tools, from backtracking search in graph coloring, to unification and anti-unification. Finally, you’ll venture into randomness, developing data structures and algorithms for discrete and continuous distributions, sequence operations on probability distributions, and Bayesian reasoning.
