Data Structures and Algorithms

A data structure is the organization of data to reduce the storage space used and to reduce the difficulty while performing different tasks. Data structures are used to handle and work with large amounts of data in various fields, such as database management and internet indexing services.

In this chapter, we will focus on the definition of abstract datatypes, classifying data structures into linear, nonlinear, homogeneous, heterogeneous, and dynamic types. Abstract datatypes, such as Container, List, Set, Map, Graph, Stack, and Queue, are presented in this chapter. We will also cover the performance analysis of data structures, choosing the right data structures, and structural design patterns.

The reader can start writing basic algorithms using the right data structures in Go. Given a problem, choosing the data structure and different algorithms...

Description

Golang is one of the fastest growing programming languages in the software industry. Its speed, simplicity, and reliability make it the perfect choice for building robust applications. This brings the need to have a solid foundation in data structures and algorithms with Go so as to build scalable applications. Complete with hands-on tutorials, this book will guide you in using the best data structures and algorithms for problem solving. The book begins with an introduction to Go data structures and algorithms. You'll learn how to store data using linked lists, arrays, stacks, and queues. Moving ahead, you'll discover how to implement sorting and searching algorithms, followed by binary search trees. This book will also help you improve the performance of your applications by stringing data types and implementing hash structures in algorithm design. Finally, you'll be able to apply traditional data structures to solve real-world problems. By the end of the book, you'll have become adept at implementing classic data structures and algorithms in Go, propelling you to become a confident Go programmer.

to be honest i'm quite angry how such nonsense found it's way into the market and people actually buying it.a book about the golang language, where readabiliy comes for free automatically, the book does an outstandingly bad job of providing you unformatted code, inconsistencies like using not just normal double quote ". it uses all sorts likeOpen Double Quote “Close Double Quote ”sometimes indents with 1 space, sometimes with 2, sometimes with 4sometimes doesnt indent at allsometimes inserts empty lines in random placessometimes prints irrelevant pieces of the source code bold, sometimes notthe book straight up explains variadic functions wrong with a lackluster example.the book also frequently uses taxonomy that is not used in the golang language like "classes" and "private" which will make you look amateur if you talk like this to other gopherssome of the script outputs are taken from a screenshot of a terminal, i kid you not (check page 144,151ff)

Really poor examples. I shouldn’t have to do mental gymnastics to follow the code. The code is often incomplete, non functional, or so poorly constructed that it doesn’t explain the topic at hand. Really disappointing, and I got this book for free from a friend. It’s just an awful frightening mess. I’m literally at a standstill going thru this book as to how poorly it was done. Was there even and editor to review the content?

Livro é bem direto e objetivo na estrutura de dados mas este tipo de conteúdo temos gratuitamente na internet, comprei esperando algum diferencial mas não houve. Fora isso o material dele é de qualidade inferior aos demais livros que comprei da Packt, a ponto de certas páginas descolarem!!Apenas com este livro tive esse problema e por isso vem minha nota 2.

As the title mentions, this book suffers from lots of errors in the code examples it provides. If you go find the code examples in the Github repository provided at the beginning of the book, many of the errors have been fixed but it's sad to see such poor quality control in a book like this. There are also sections of the book which seem to be included just to provide fluff and are not really related to the book's main topic.

The descriptions are brief & lack clarity, you're better off learning subjects in this book from wikipedia.It seems like topics in the book were quickly copy-pasta'd from another book, especially with it's frequent use of "classes" in a golang book.Additionally it has errors that can be quite confusing. On the subject of Backtracking Algorithm's, page 50 reads... "Backing is useful in scenarios such as finding a value in an unordered table".🤔Backtracking is useless for locating a given value in an unordered table so 🤷
