Algorithmic Thinking Language of Choice

Which programming language is used in this book? Is it C?

Is the book about writing code or thinking about the algorithms? If it about algorithms, would you want a code language in the first place?

I agree with you, it is about thinking in terms of algorithms, but nevertheless I wanted to find out if the book takes an imperative approach or a functional approach to implement the algorithms!

I have read some review about this book and YES, the only programming language used in this book is the C programming language.
You can find it under the Topics section.

That is a good review

Hi all,

It's C... I hope it's OK for anyone who knows any programming language, though.

There's a bit of C wonkiness here and there (e.g. no easy way to read a string of unknown length), but on the other hand that low level view helped me explain things like hash tables...

I hope readers learn to think about algorithms, otherwise the title of the book is wrong but I did feel that concrete implementations were needed compared to pseudocode. So I provided the C code for everything. You can play around with the code, change stuff, submit it to the judge to see if it still works or if it broke for some reason, etc. I think there are a lot of learning opportunities there.

I really appreciated that review on Red Green Code. Duncan must have read every page! He also sent me a list of a few typos that he found... way above anything I could have asked for.

Thank you,
Dan
