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.

QA section


  • Can we sort the left sublist and right sublist from the partition method in quick sort using other sorting algorithms?
  • Suppose we have an array which consists of {4, 34, 29, 48, 53, 87, 12, 30, 44, 25, 93, 67, 43, 19, 74}. What sorting algorithm will give you the fastest time performance?
  • Why can merge sort and quick sort have O(N • log N) for their time complexity?
  • What sorting algorithm is similar to arranging a hand of poker cards?
  • What is the best sorting algorithm if we are going to sort an array which consists of {293, 21, 43, 1024, 8, 532, 70, 8283}?
