Hands-On Data Structures and Algorithms with Rust

Design and implement professional level programs by exploring modern data structures and algorithms in Rust.Key FeaturesUse data structures such as arrays stacks trees lists and graphs with real-world examplesLearn the functional and reactive implementations of the traditional data structuresExplore illustrations to present data structures and algorithms as well as their analysis in a clear visual manner.Book DescriptionRust has come a long way and is now utilized in several contexts. Its key strengths are its software infrastructure and resource-constrained applications including desktop applications servers and performance-critical applications not forgetting its importance in systems' programming. This book will be your guide as it takes you through implementing classic data structures and algorithms in Rust helping you to get up and running as a confident Rust programmer. The book begins with an introduction to Rust data structures and algorithms while also covering essential language constructs. You will learn how to store data using linked lists arrays stacks and queues. You will also learn how to implement sorting and searching algorithms. You will learn how to attain high performance by implementing algorithms to string data types and implement hash structures in algorithm design. The book will examine algorithm analysis including Brute Force algorithms Greedy algorithms Divide and Conquer algorithms Dynamic Programming and Backtracking. By the end of the book you will have learned how to build components that are easy to understand debug and use in different applications.What you will learnDesign and implement complex data structures in RustAnalyze implement and improve searching and sorting algorithms in RustCreate and use well-tested and reusable components with RustUnderstand the basics of multithreaded programming and advanced algorithm designBecome familiar with application profiling based on benchmarking and testingExplore the borrowing complexity of implementing algorithmsWho this book is forThis book is for developers seeking to use Rust solutions in a practical/professional setting; who wants to learn essential Data Structures and Algorithms in Rust. It is for developers with basic Rust language knowledge some experience in other programming languages is required. About the Author Claus Matzinger is a software engineer with a very diverse background. After working in a small company maintaining code for embedded devices he joined a large corporation to work on legacy Smalltalk applications. This led to a great interest in programming languages early on and Claus became the CTO for a health games start-up based on Scala technology. Since then Claus' roles have shifted toward customer-facing roles in the IoT database technology start-up Crate IO (creators of CrateDB) and most recently Microsoft. There he hosts a podcast writes code together with customers and blogs about the solutions arising from these engagements. For more than 5 years Claus has been implementing software to help customers innovate achieve and maintain success.
