- The algorithm catalog portion is well beyond the scope of difficulty you'll get in an interview.
- This book has 2 parts:
- class textbook on data structures and algorithms
- pros:
- is a good review as any algorithms textbook would be
- nice stories from his experiences solving problems in industry and academia
- code examples in C
- cons:
- can be as dense or impenetrable as CLRS, and in some cases, CLRS may be a better alternative for some subjects
- chapters 7, 8, 9 can be painful to try to follow, as some items are not explained well or require more brain than I have
- don't get me wrong: I like Skiena, his teaching style, and mannerisms, but I may not be Stony Brook material.
