Hands-On Data Structures and Algorithms with Kotlin

Understand and solve complex computational problems and write efficient code with KotlinKey FeaturesLearn about important data structures such as lists arrays queues and stacksDesign custom algorithms for real-life implementationsIdentify suitable tools for different scenarios and deliver immediate resultsBook DescriptionData structures and algorithms are more than just theoretical concepts. They help you become familiar with computational methods for solving problems and writing logical code. Equipped with this knowledge you can write efficient programs that run faster and use less memory.Hands-On Data Structures and Algorithms with Kotlin book starts with the basics of algorithms and data structures helping you get to grips with the fundamentals and measure complexity. You'll then move on to exploring the basics of functional programming while getting used to thinking recursively. Packed with plenty of examples along the way this book will help you grasp each concept easily. In addition to this you'll get a clear understanding of how the data structures in Kotlin's collection framework work internally.By the end of this book you will be able to apply the theory of data structures and algorithms to work out real-world problems.What you will learnUnderstand the basic principles of algorithms and data structuresExplore general-purpose data structures with arrays and linked listsGet to grips with the basics of stacks queues and double-ended queuesUnderstand functional programming and related data structuresUse performant searching and efficient sortingUncover how Kotlin's collection framework functionsBecome adept at implementing different types of mapsWho this book is forIf you're a Kotlin developer who wants to learn the intricacies of implementing data structures and algorithms for scalable application development this book is for you.
