DescriptionFourteen years after it was first issued, C++ expert Jon Bentley reinvents a true classic with thesecond edition of his Programming Pearls. Completely revised and brought up to date with all newcode examples in C and C++, this book remains an exceptional tutorial for learning to think like aprogrammer. The 'pearls' in question center not only on choosing the right algorithms (like binarysearches, sorting techniques, or sparse arrays) but also on showing how to solve problemseffectively. Each chapter frames a particular programming task--such as sorting numbers, creatinganagrams, or counting the words in a block of text--many drawn from Bentley's experiences in hislong career as a developer. The book traces the process of arriving at a fast, efficient, andaccurate solution, along with code profiling to discover what works best. After refining the correctanswer, each chapter enumerates programming principles that you can use on your own. Theauthor also challenges you to think like an engineer, and each chapter ends with about a dozenproblems to get you thinking creatively about design issues. (Sidebars on such historical topics asthe first computer solutions to computer chess, spell-checking, and even architectural design helpcreate a perspective on successful problem solving and make for a truly educational and enjoyabletour of how to become a better programmer.) Bentley also asks the reader to think analyticallyabout the world with 'back of the envelope' estimation techniques drawn from engineering.Appendices list the algorithms and code rules covered in the book, plus some sample solutions.Fans of the first edition of this title will be pleased to see this favorite computer text brought up todate for today's faster hardware. Whether you want to improve your command of algorithms or testyour problem-solving skills, the new version of Programming Pearl is a challenging, instructive,and thoroughly entertaining resource. --Richard Dragan Topics covered: Programming andproblem-solving tutorial, sorting algorithms, merge sort, bit vectors, binary searches, programcorrectness and testing, improving performance, engineering and problem-solving techniques,performance estimates, designing for safety, divide-and-conquer and scanning algorithms, tuningcode, tips for more efficient memory usage, insertion sort, quicksort algorithms, sparse arrays,searching algorithms, binary search trees, heaps, priority queues, searching text, and generatingrandom text.
