Sorting and Searching Algorithms: Cookbook By THOMAS NIEMANN
This is a collection of algorithms for sorting and searching. Descriptions are brief and
intuitive, with just enough theory thrown in to make you nervous. I assume you know a
high-level language, such as C, and that you are familiar with programming concepts
including arrays and pointers.
The first section introduces basic data structures and notation. The next section
presents several sorting algorithms. This is followed by a section on dictionaries,
structures that allow efficient insert, search, and delete operations. The last section
describes algorithms that sort data and implement dictionaries for very large files. Source
code for each algorithm, in ANSI C, is available at the site listed below.
Most algorithms have also been translated to Visual Basic. If you are programming in
Visual Basic, I recommend you read Visual Basic Collections and Hash Tables, for an
explanation of hashing and node representation.
