Overview of this book

C++ is a general-purpose programming language which has evolved over the years and is used to develop software for many different sectors. This book will be your companion as it takes you through implementing classic data structures and algorithms to help you get up and running as a confident C++ programmer. We begin with an introduction to C++ data structures and algorithms while also covering essential language constructs. Next, we will see how to store data using linked lists, arrays, stacks, and queues. Then, we will learn how to implement different sorting algorithms, such as quick sort and heap sort. Along with these, we will dive into searching algorithms such as linear search, binary search and more. Our next mission will be to attain high performance by implementing algorithms to string datatypes and implementing hash structures in algorithm design. We'll also analyze Brute Force algorithms, Greedy algorithms, and more. By the end of the book, you'll know how to build components that are easy to understand, debug, and use in different applications.

Summary


We have successfully built our own data structures in C++ and have found out the time complexity of each data structure. As we have discussed, each data structure has its own strengths and drawbacks. For instance, by using List, we can access the last element faster than LinkedList. However, in the List, removing the first element will take even more time, since we remove the first element since it needs to re-struct the array inside the List.

In the next chapter, we are going to learn how to build other data structures based on the data structures we have discussed in this chapter. These are stack, queue, and dequeue.
