A Common-Sense Guide to Data Structures and Algorithms in Python, Volume 2: Level Up Your Core Programming Skills

Want to write code that pushes the boundaries of speed, space savings, and scalability? Then you need more advanced data structures and algorithms. Go beyond Big O notation and evaluate the true efficiency of each algorithm you design. Pull out data structures such as B-trees, bit vectors, and Bloom filters to wrangle big data. Wield techniques like caching, randomization, and fingerprinting to tame even the most demanding applications. With simple language, clear diagrams, and practice exercises and solutions, this book makes these topics easy to grasp. Go beyond the basics and use these next-level concepts to build software that's ready to take on the challenges of the real world.
