Same. I bought physical copies years ago but ended up giving them away.
The main problem is that algorithm examples are specified in a fake machine code. It’s not that useful when things can just be Googled now.
- Koshkin 3y agoWell, the Turing machine is also “fake.” It is used for some analytical research. Similarly, Knuth uses his MIX for the analysis of algorithms.
- adastra22 3y agoIt is poorly adapted to that use case though. Either use an abstract machine that captures the essence of the algorithm better, or use a more realistic yet still simple machine (e.g. MIPS or RISC-V). MIX is a middle ground that fails on both fronts.
