Introducing Algorithms in C: A Step by Step Guide to Algorithms in C: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Introducing Algorithms in C: A Step by Step Guide to Algorithms in C" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Study elementary and complex algorithms with clear examples and implementations in C. This book introduces data types (simple and structured) and algorithms with graphical and textual explanations. In the next sections, youll cover simple and complex standard algorithms with their flowcharts: everything is integrated with explanations and tables to give a step-by-step evolution of the algorithms. The main algorithms are: the sum of three or n numbers in a loop, decimal-to-binary conversion, maximum and minimum search, linear/sequential search, binary search, bubble sort, selection sort, merging of two sorted arrays, reading characters from a file, stack management, and factorial and Fibonacci sequences. The last section of Introducing Algorithms in C is devoted to the introduction of the C language and the implementation of the code, which is connected to the studied algorithms. The book is full of screenshots and illustrations showing the meaning of the code. What You Will Learn Implement algorithms in C Work with variables, constants, and primitive and structured types Use arrays, stacks, queues, graphs, trees, hash tables, records, and files Explore the design of algorithms Solve searching problems, including binary search, sorting, and bubble/selection sort Program recursive algorithms with factorial functions and Fibonacci sequences Who This Book Is For Primarily beginners: it can serve as a starting point for anyone who is beginning the study of computer science and information systems for the first time.

Introduction

This book serves as a starting point for anyone who is beginning their study of computer science and information systems. Algorithms play an important role in programming, and they can be considered the cornerstone of computer science, because computer programs would not exist without algorithms. In fact, understanding a problem and getting a solution is a fundamental condition for software development and problem-solving strategies. Therefore, the aim of this book is to explain algorithms in different ways and then teach you how to analyze new algorithms. In this book, we will use the C language to verify the correctness of the algorithms.

Chapterdefines the algorithms and flowcharts with graphical and textual explanations. Well look at simple and complex standard algorithms, as well as their flowcharts. Everything is integrated with explanations, schemas, and tables to show the step-by-step evolution of the algorithms.

The main analyzed algorithms are the following: the sum of three ornnumbers in a loop, the decimal to binary conversion, the maximum and minimum search, the linear/sequential search, the binary search, the bubble sort, the selection sort, the merging of two sorted arrays, and the reading chars from file algorithm, stack management, and the recursive algorithm (factorial and Fibonacci sequence).

The last chapter is devoted to the introduction of the C language and the implementation of code related to the algorithms in this book. Many C programs are explained.

The study of algorithms is connected to data structures. A data structure is a way to store data to facilitate organization and modifications. Every data structure is used for a specific purpose, so it is important to know the characteristics of several of them so you can choose the data structures that are appropriate for the operations performed by an algorithm.

Variables and Constants
A variable represents a memory location that stores an assigned value. Each variable is associated with a data type and stores one or some values. Variables can change their value during program execution, but they cannot change their structure or their data type. A variable is characterized by three elements.

  • Name: A variables name must be unique and inherent to the programming context, mainly to avoid ambiguity in the program.

  • Type: A variables type indicates whether the variable is an integer, a float, a character, and so on. Each type allocates different space in central memory.

  • Content: A variables content is the value assigned to the variable in a step of the program execution.

Furthermore, the most important operators are assignment and comparison.
