Key benefits

  • Understand the analysis and design of fundamental Python data structures
  • Explore advanced Python concepts such as Big O notation and dynamic programming
  • Learn functional and reactive implementations of traditional data structures

Description

Data structures allow you to store and organize data efficiently. They are critical to any problem, provide a complete solution, and act like reusable code. Hands-On Data Structures and Algorithms with Python teaches you the essential Python data structures and the most common algorithms for building easy and maintainable applications. This book helps you to understand the power of linked lists, double linked lists, and circular linked lists. You will learn to create complex data structures, such as graphs, stacks, and queues. As you make your way through the chapters, you will explore the application of binary searches and binary search trees, along with learning common techniques and structures used in tasks such as preprocessing, modeling, and transforming data. In the concluding chapters, you will get to grips with organizing your code in a manageable, consistent, and extendable way. You will also study how to bubble sort, selection sort, insertion sort, and merge sort algorithms in detail. By the end of the book, you will have learned how to build components that are easy to understand, debug, and use in different applications. You will get insights into Python implementation of all the important and relevant algorithms.

Who is this book for?

This book is for developers who want to learn data structures and algorithms in Python to write complex and flexible programs. Basic Python programming knowledge is expected.

What you will learn

  • Understand object representation, attribute binding, and data encapsulation

I just received the book. It looked fine initially, but once I opened it, the binding ripped, and the first page fell off. The binding is fragile and weak, so I don’t think the book will serve for a long time.I will make sure to update the content when I’m done with it.EDIT: I finished the book. It was something.First of all, the book has a problem with the code snippets. Some of them have basic syntax issues, like “import library assomething” (they forgot the space). Others are just indentation issues, like on page 135 (see for yourself through the “look inside” feature on Amazon). Truly makes me wonder if the reviewers really did read the book.The biggest issue for me was the complete absence of material on balanced trees. Instead, there are two paragraphs teasing you with information you might have had, like an explanation of AA treas and scapegoat trees, but no answer is provided at all. Check for yourself, page 174. I believe it would have been more useful to teach AA treas in the book about Data STRUCTURES & Algorithms rather than Data Visualization with matplotlib.Now, the good part is that it is a nice introduction, after all. I found the explanation of stacks & queues well-written and would have appreciated the material if I did not know that already. I would recommend this book as a first thing to read, but certainly not something to advance your knowledge base.

Good book if you need to refresh knowledge of DS and Algorithms. It doesn't go to the deep explanation. Good examples to learn from. The book says it uses Python 3.7, but I think there is nothing that can prevent run those examples on Python 3.x. Overall I like this book, but I would not recommend it if you are starting to learn DS.

Hands-on is about as close as you can get to Sedgewick in Python. Now if it could only be expanded to be Numerical Recipes in Python ...

What happens if an Early Access Course is cancelled? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Projects are rarely cancelled, but sometimes it's unavoidable. If an Early Access course is cancelled or excessively delayed, you can exchange your purchase for another course. For further details, please contact us here.

Where can I send feedback about an Early Access title? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team. 

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Yes, all Early Access content is fully available through your subscription. You will need to have a paid for or active trial subscription in order to access all titles.

How is Early Access delivered? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is currently only available as a PDF or through our online reader. As we make changes or add new chapters, the files in your Packt account will be updated so you can download them again or view them online immediately.

How do I buy Early Access content? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same. Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
