This is a book review and code repository of Learn Data Structures and Algorithms with Golang written by Bhaghvan Kommadi, and published by https://www.packt.com.
Inspired by github code repository of this book prepared in https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Learn-Data-Structures-and-Algorithms-with-Golang, we will try to cover more practical examples in each chapter. The core concepts of each chapters are also written in a seperate README.md file for more clarification.
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.
This book covers the following exciting features:
- Improve application performance using the most suitable data structure and algorithm
- Explore the wide range of classic algorithms such as recursion and hashing algorithms
- Work with algorithms such as garbage collection for efficient memory management
- Analyze the cost and benefit trade-off to identify algorithms and data structures for problem solving
- Explore techniques for writing pseudocode algorithm and ace whiteboard coding in interviews
- Discover the pitfalls in selecting data structures and algorithms by predicting their speed and efficiency
All of the code is organized into folders. For example, Chapter02. Each chapter consists of a main.go file. You can run file_name.go program by preparing an extra argument for "go run" command. As a general rule, you can run a code in chapterXX folder using the following commands:
cd chapterXX \
go run . <file_name>
More details are considered in the README.md files of each chapter.
