It has the same material as Sedgewick, doesn't it?
- amai 10y agoNo, I believe there are more algorithms listed in Skienas book. But from Skienas book you will barely understand them and it won't teach you how to really implement them. Sedgewicks book is much better in that respect. One can compile and run the given Java examples and actually play around with them. Skienas book is a good reference for postdocs in algorithmic design. Sedgewicks book on the other hand is for people who actually want to implement these algorithms.
