Description

Choosing the right data structure is pivotal to optimizing the performance and scalability of applications. This new edition of Hands-On Data Structures and Algorithms with Python will expand your understanding of key structures, including stacks, queues, and lists, and also show you how to apply priority queues and heaps in applications. You’ll learn how to analyze and compare Python algorithms, and understand which algorithms should be used for a problem based on running time and computational complexity. You will also become confident organizing your code in a manageable, consistent, and scalable way, which will boost your productivity as a Python developer. By the end of this Python book, you’ll be able to manipulate the most important data structures and algorithms to more efficiently store, organize, and access data in your applications.

This book strikes the ideal balance between mathematical algorithm theory and coding. There are many-a-book with only theory and a lot of coding sources with very little in terms of explanation/theory.This is a very good book that mixes both. I myself invent/develop algorithms and appreciate very much this book's balanced approach.

Most data structure and algorithm book/video have been written/taught using C/C++ or Java in the market. For many python only beginner, epecially in data science/machine leanring, a python version data structure and algorithm book can be a great reference to study high quality programming systemetically, This book fills the gap of the demand. Good job!

While writing production level code, I have encountered many situations where the efficiency of the chosen data structure or algorithm has a significant impact on the performance of the system. I was particularly interested in reviewing this book, as it aims to provide an introduction to the essential topics and extend into practical applications for each of them.It focuses both on theoretical concepts and the practical applications. The simple examples shown in the book are suitable for beginners and the complex problems are framed in such a way that even the experienced developers would benefit. This book assumes a basic level of knowledge in Python programming. In particular, the book could have included generators, decorators, and meta-classes, to showcase how these concepts can be used to implement more efficient data structures and algorithms.The book does provide valuable insights into various data structures and algorithms. The author's explanations of the concepts are clear and concise, and the code examples are well-structured and easy to understand. The book covers a wide range of topics, including linked lists, trees, graphs, and sorting algorithms, making it a comprehensive resource for beginners. Overall it is a useful starting point for beginners who are new to data structures and algorithms and want to use Python as the programming language.

In this book, the author presented the concept of complex data structures and algorithms in a systematic way with clean examples that can be read and understood by readers and learners having various backgrounds, as for example CS, IT, Business or other quantitative and analytical fields. This book will be useful not only for developers, but also data scientists and data engineers as well.

The Author demonstrates a fresh look at the subject!I have instructed the course at the University for some time and I loved reading it. I think there are many similar books, but none go to the depths and clarity that this one does. Especially, I liked that fact that the author actually demonstrates all the concepts with examples, and also puts it in tabular format for easy reference.This will be a great asset to have, both for the beginner and for the advanced learner.Enjoy learning!

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.

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.
