Grokking Algorithms Paperback – 14 Mar. 2024

This book is great, it's far easier to read and understand than other books out there. It's definitely a must have for all computer science students, I highly recommend it

If you are new to algorithms, and you don't have the brainpower of steven hawking; then you will be glad you read this book before all the others. I wish I had. Am studying for an MSc and struggled to understand the books that my Uni had recommended. Then bought this and all of a sudden everything became clear. I wish I'd read it straight off the bat instead of worrying about the price. Believe me, this is a tough subject and the outlay is inconsequential compared to the time you'll otherwise spend trying to fathom these algo's.

I found this book clearly explains the algorithms it covers. It may not cover every algorithm in existence but what it does cover, it does well. We all have different learning styles and this works well for me: I don't think that 'A Programmers introduction to mathematics' or the art of programming should be a prerequisite for algorithms and this book proves it.

Using this complimented with Neetcode - honestly cant fault this book.

I read the book as an experienced developer, and found that it covered the topic area well - starting with the basics and leading the reader gently into the details, without leaving anyone behind. I would thoroughly recommend this book for both experienced and novice people alike.

A simple child level book. Not useful for a serious interview preparation.

This is a really cool book for you glass table.It can accompany a magazine like Bizarre and you will be the envy of all your friends.Save it's awesome artwork ( not joking here), this book is not a good example of how to make things simple and understandable as an intro to algorithms.My suggestions would be a number of different books or online resources other than this book.The examples are so noisy in its artistic greatness that you forget what the issue is all about after you navigate through an example of how to work on quicksort for example.A lot of the academic and/or final year school books on the subject are actually easier to follow and may provide far better and more exercises.
