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 how to do an efficient search in an ordered array. This search is called a binary search. You also learned some methods of obtaining an ordered array out of an unordered one. This process is called sorting. We saw three basic algorithms of sorting. Although they are not particularly efficient, they are simple to understand the concept. You also learned how to convert a recursive algorithm to a non-recursive one that uses a loop. In the next chapter, we will see efficient sorting algorithms.
