It does a brilliant job of demystifying them. However, this book more than other resource on topic helped me, "get" advanced data structures. Whether that's because the language(s) of choice are no longer popular, or they incorrectly assume that because it was written before they were born its prehistoric. Lots of folks in my age group like to dismiss older books. It's not all about sorting.Īlgorithms + Data Structures = Programs is one of the treasured books in my personal library along with William Wulf's The Design of an Optimizing Compiler which I was given.more Wirth importantly points out in the start the trade offs and interchange between data structures and their algorithms, and very important: the reverse (it must be explicitly stated) algorithms and THEIR data structures. It's an obsolete language in some ways, but it's a shorter text and in a higher level language than Donald Knuth's Art of Computer Programming, Volume 1: Fundamental Algorithms which more programmers keep as a reference than read. It was briefly required reading when I was on the Pascal Standards Committee. It might seem silly to some to use the '+' and '=' in the title, but it also influenced quite a few important papers subsequently and gets us away from the restrictive ASCII character set. It illustrates stepwise refinement of a simple compiler throughout the text. It's an obsolete lang While this book has a small number of typographic errors, it's representative of period programming in the later 1970s and early 1980s.
