Data Structures & Algorithms in Swift (Fourth Edition): Implementing Practical Data Structures with Swift

Learn Data Structures & Algorithms in Swift!Data structures and algorithms form the basis of computer programming and are the starting point for anyone looking to become a software engineer. Choosing the proper data structure and algorithm involves understanding the many details and trade-offs of using them, which can be time-consuming to learn - and confusing.This is where this book, Data Structures & Algorithms in Swift, comes to the rescue! In this book, you'll learn the nuts and bolts of how fundamental data structures and algorithms work by using easy-to-follow tutorials loaded with illustrations; you'll also learn by working in Swift playground code.Who This Book Is ForThis book is for developers who know the basics of Swift syntax and want a better theoretical understanding of what data structures and algorithms are to build more complex programs or ace a whiteboard interview.Topics Covered in Data Structures & Algorithms in Swift*Basic data structures and algorithms, including stacks, queues and linked lists. *How protocols can be used to generalize algorithms. *How to leverage the algorithms of the Swift standard library with your own data structures. *Trees, tries and graphs. *Building algorithms on top of other primitives. *A complete spectrum of sorting algorithms from simple to advanced. *How to think about algorithmic complexity. *Finding shortest paths, traversals, subgraphs and much more.After reading this book, you'll have a solid foundation on data structures and algorithms and be ready to solve more complex problems in your apps elegantly.
