C# Data Structures and Algorithms - Second Edition
Description
Write sophisticated C# code with this complete guide to using diverse data structures and algorithms, featuring ready-to-use code snippets, detailed explanations, and illustrations
Key Features:
- Master lists, stacks, queues, dictionaries, sets, and trees, among other data structures
- Delve into effective design and implementation techniques to meet your software requirements
- Visualize data structures and algorithms through illustrations for a clearer understanding of their analysis
- Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook
Book Description:
Building your own applications is exciting but challenging, especially when tackling complex problems tied to advanced data structures and algorithms. This endeavor demands profound knowledge of the programming language as well as data structures and algorithms. C# Data Structures and Algorithms, armed with critical knowledge from an entrepreneur, author, industry expert, and seasoned developer with significant international experience, offers just that to C# developers.
Starting with an introduction to algorithms, this book gradually immerses you in the world of arrays, lists, stacks, queues, dictionaries, and sets. Real-world examples, enriched with code snippets and illustrations, provide a practical understanding of these concepts. You'll also learn how to sort arrays using various algorithms, setting a solid foundation for your programming expertise. As you progress, you'll venture into more complex data structures - trees and graphs - and discover algorithms for tasks such as determining the shortest path in a graph before advancing to see various algorithms in action, such as solving Sudoku.
By the end of this book, you'll be able to use the C# language to build algorithmic components that are not only easy to understand and debug but also seamlessly applicable in various apps, spanning web and mobile platforms.
What You Will Learn:
- Understand the fundamentals of algorithms and their classification
- Store data using arrays and lists, and explore various ways to sort arrays
- Build enhanced applications with stacks, queues, hashtables, dictionaries, and sets
- Create efficient applications with tree-related algorithms, such as for searching in a binary search tree
- Boost solution efficiency with graphs, including finding the shortest path in the graph
- Implement algorithms solving Tower of Hanoi and Sudoku games, generating fractals, and even guessing the title of this book
Who this book is for:
This book is for developers looking to learn data structures and algorithms in C#. While basic programming skills and C# knowledge is useful, beginners will find value in the provided code snippets, illustrations, and detailed explanations, enhancing their programming skills. Advanced developers can use this book as a valuable resource for reusable code snippets, instead of writing algorithms from scratch each time.

Shipping & Processing
This item is in stock with our supplier and usually ships within 3–5 business days.
Processing times
- In stock: Items marked “In Stock” are on our shelves. We pick, pack and ship them within 1–2 business days.

- Special orders: Some supplier items, such as specialist and imported items, titles awaiting reprint and print-on-demand titles, take longer to arrive. If your order includes one, we’ll update you as soon as we hear from our supplier.
- Supplier delays: Occasionally a supplier is delayed, or their stock information turns out to be inaccurate. We’ll keep your order open for up to 60 days. If an item hasn’t shipped or isn’t on its way to us by then, we’ll cancel that item and refund it.
How accurate is availability?
Availability is based on the stock levels our suppliers tell us they hold, and we update it regularly. If a supplier issue affects your order, we’ll let you know with an updated estimate.
Delivery
- As soon as your order ships you’ll get an email with tracking.
- Australia Post usually delivers within 2–10 business days of shipping (around 4 in metro areas and around 6 in regional areas).
- If your order has more than one item, we hold the in-stock items until everything is ready, so we can ship your whole order together in one parcel.
- Shipping cost: Free on orders over $100 within Australia, otherwise $9.95 flat rate per order however many items you buy. Free shipping applies to Australian addresses only; delivery to New Zealand is $14.95 per order.
- Check your address: If an order goes to an incorrect address you gave us, or isn’t collected and Australia Post returns it to us, you’ll need to pay the postage to send it again.
Cancellations
Need to change or cancel an order? Contact us as soon as possible at contact@bookloop.com.au or through our contact page.
- Within 30 minutes: You can change or cancel your order for a full refund within 30 minutes of placing it.
- After 30 minutes: Your order is already being processed, so it can no longer be changed or cancelled. If we can accept a late cancellation, we may offer store credit instead of a refund.
- Items in transit: Once an item is on its way, either from our supplier to us or from us to you, it can’t be cancelled. If you no longer want it once it arrives, you can return it as a change of mind, with return postage at your cost. See Returns.
- Separate orders can’t be combined once they’ve been placed, and adding or swapping items can change the delivery estimate.
- Supplier delays: Occasionally a supplier is delayed, or their stock information turns out to be inaccurate. We’ll keep your order open for up to 60 days. If an item hasn’t shipped or isn’t on its way to us by then, we’ll cancel that item and refund it.
Faulty or damaged items are always covered. See Returns.
