Books like Practical algorithms for programmers by Andrew Binstock


Practical Algorithms for Programmers offers an in‑depth exploration of computer algorithms and data structures, entirely implemented in C. Unlike many reference works that provide brief code snippets, this book supplies complete source code for each topic. It covers standard algorithms—search, sort, hashing—and also delves into less frequently discussed areas such as data compression, full date and time routines that handle calendar quirks, the Soundex name‑matching algorithm, and arbitrary precision arithmetic. Although the C code reflects practices from the mid‑1990s, the concepts remain valuable for programmers seeking thorough, real‑world examples.
First publish date: 1995
