Pros & Cons
Pros
The book's approach is easier to understand for beginner. One just needs to follow logical arguments as it is explained. Clarity and approachability is invaluable toward ensuring that i am not misunderstanding anything.
A self-taught programmer with a background in software engineering, this book is an excellent introduction to algorithms. Cormen rivest is one of the authors of an introduction to algorithms (clrs), which is the de facto standard in university level a... Read More
Strong algorithms can solve real work examples like cooking kungpo chicken in the shortest possible time. Many of these algorithms are the classics that clrs teaches as well, just trimmed of all the * proofs.
This is a solid book that treats you as an intelligent human being than a space alien or a brick. The book is not exactly a watered down version of the original textbook and offers some new insights not afforded in the more massive tome. Anyways, this... Read More
Cons
Book back cover and last few pages are sliced. Author brings in unnecessary abstractions which can only confuse new learners.
Highlights
Quality
Amazing and will help in algorithms data structure interviews data science
It has truly enhanced my skills on algorithm design and problem solving
Its also one of the longest driest most boring texts ive ever had the displeasure of being assigned to read
It seems to me that a programmer needs to be absolutely crystal clear in his understanding of data structures and algorithms or... Read More
Packaging/appearance
It came in great conditions and the packaging was great
Competitiveness
In fact i only bought the book because the author was cormen i was familiar with his algorithms textbook introduction to algori... Read More
Unlike clrs this is not a textbook but rather kind of a 34pretextbook34

There is a little bit of math sprinkled here and there but not as detailed as one would find in other works by the same author

I bought this on the recommendation of a friend i have the very famous intro to algorithms book but havent had time to dig in since its a massive tome and wanted something more concise

This however might be a little too far in the opposite direction i would have preferred to see things in code or pseudocode
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The examples also start loops at 1 which for me is just an annoyance since i know better but i imagine this may cause issues for the novice javacc programmer who misses the caveat in the early chapters

Perhaps it is my fault for not previewing the book before purchasing
