The textbook Algorithms, 4th Edition by Robert Sedgewick and Kevin
Wayne [ Amazon · Pearson · InformIT ] surveys the most important algorithms and data structures in use
today. We motivate each algorithm that we address by examining its impact on applications to science,
engineering, and industry. The textbook is organized into six chapters:
•Chapter 1: Fundamentals introduces a scientific and engineering basis for comparing algorithms and
making predictions. It also includes our programming model.
•Chapter 2: Sorting considers several classic sorting algorithms, including insertion sort, mergesort,
and quicksort. It also features a binary heap implementation of a priority queue.
•Chapter 5: Strings investigates specialized algorithms for string processing, including radix sorting,
substring search, tries, regular expressions, and data compression.
