Algorithmen und Datenstrukturen

The book presents all relevant topics for computer science studies in an understandable manner. Starting with the simplest algorithms, the complexity is gradually increased. For each algorithm, a runnable program is introduced, including a flowchart, which can also be directly used in programming labs. It includes program examples, flowcharts, diagrams, tables, exercises, and practical tips. Your exclusive advantage: E-book included with the purchase of the printed book.

If you are just starting your first semester in the computer science program and have therefore enrolled in the lectures on Algorithms and Data Structures 1 and 2 as well as Programming 1 and 2, this book will help you acquire the necessary experience and skills to navigate through labs and exams stress-free. The first three chapters are aimed exclusively at beginners with basic programming knowledge in C/C++. Advanced programmers in the study will also benefit from the remaining chapters as they tackle more complex topics such as linked lists, trees, graphs, sorting algorithms, neural networks, cryptographic algorithms, or graphs.

The book offers an easy introduction to the complex topic of algorithms and data structures. Instead of using comic or pseudocode style, executable source code in C or Java is consistently used. The programs run on any standard Linux installation, including the increasingly popular Raspberry Pi among students. However, even on Windows, you will rarely need to make adjustments to the source code.

Contents include: Computability, basic algorithms, recursive algorithms, linked lists, trees, search and sorting methods, signal processing, graphical image processing, simulation of neural networks, cryptographic algorithms, graphs, and solutions to the exercises.
