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


In this chapter, we discussed the hierarchical data structure and stored information in the form of a tree. We started our discussion by creating a tree from several TreeNodes, and then built a binary search tree where we can search for a given key easily. Sometimes, we can have a skewed tree in a binary search tree, and so we build an AVL tree, which can balance all of the elements itself, so that now we can have a balanced binary tree. Another tree data structure implementation is the binary heap, which we used to build a priority queue, where we can access an element based on its priority.

In the next chapter, we are going to discuss how to construct and implement the hash structure in algorithm design.
