How is this book different from the Grokking Algorithms one?
Hi Joe,
Thank you for writing!
Grokking Algorithms is a neat book. It covers some of the same ground as I do, but uses Python rather than C. I used C to help me explore the guts of these data structures that are more hidden in Python.
My book also uses programming competition/contest problems, rather than classical problems, so hopefully you haven't seen any of the problems in my book before
Each book also covers some topics that the other doesn't. e.g. I cover segment trees, heaps, and union-find. And I can't get enough of cool uses of binary search, so I have a whole chapter on that. Binary search! For real... does way more than search a sorted array, promise!
