Book Overview

A practical guide to implementing algorithms in C++. Have you been looking for a C++ book that not only talks about some of the most popular algorithms of today, but also implements them? Then look no... This description may be from another edition of this product.

Customer Reviews

Very good book, but see his Data Structure's book.

The first reviewer missed the division of Flamig's work. He split the work into two books, Practical Data Structures and Practical Algorithms. I recommend both books to my computer science students for their work. Flamig does not talk about regular expressions = FSA, but that is a not too important to me.

Outstanding practical guide for all OO developers.

This book is the single best introduction to practical computer algorithms that I've found, book, magazine, or otherwise. While the code is all C++ (good code style too), the information is easily understood and represented in Java or another object-oriented language. Highly recommended for new or experienced developers.

A VERY useful book.

This is not one of those highly academic books that analyze a particular problem and solution in agonizing detail but don't really give you any useful source code. Its got useful code with brief but thorough discussions of the pro/cons/gotchas. I picked up this book because I need a CRC algorithm -- not difficult to do, but I was very pressed for time -- and it took me all of 10 minutes to find the particular version of the algorithm to suit my needs and plug it in! This one will stay on my book shelf for a long time.
