Java 9 Data Structures and Algorithms

By: Debasish Ray Chawdhuri

Overview of this book

Java 9 Data Structures and Algorithms covers classical, functional, and reactive data structures, giving you the ability to understand computational complexity, solve problems, and write efficient code. This book is based on the Zero Bug Bounce milestone of Java 9. We start off with the basics of algorithms and data structures, helping you understand the fundamentals and measure complexity. From here, we introduce you to concepts such as arrays, linked lists, as well as abstract data types such as stacks and queues. Next, we’ll take you through the basics of functional programming while making sure you get used to thinking recursively. We provide plenty of examples along the way to help you understand each concept. You will also get a clear picture of reactive programming, binary searches, sorting, search trees, undirected graphs, and a whole lot more!

Summary


In this chapter, we saw what a graph is and some real-world scenarios where they can be applicable. We saw a few ways of implementing a graph data structure in memory. We then studied ways to traverse a graph, in both BFT and DFT. We used traversals to detect cycles in a graph. Finally, we saw what spanning trees are, what minimum spanning trees are, and how to find them in a graph.

In the next chapter, we will drift a bit to explore a simple and elegant way of implementing some concurrent programming, called reactive programming.
