Don't be perplexed by data structures! This fun, friendly, and fully illustrated guide makes it easy to learn useful data structures you'll put to work every day. Grokking Data Structures makes it a breeze to learn the most useful day-to-day data structures. You'll follow a steady learning path from absolute basics to advanced concepts, all illustrated with fun examples, engaging industry stories, and hundreds of graphics and cartoons. This book teaches data structures to anyone, no matter what their background. You don’t need advanced math, you don’t need to have taken CS101 or any course; you don’t need to be a coding ninja, but some knowledge of Python might help. This book, like every book in the Grooking series, gives you an understanding of how things work: what data structure is, what the basic structures you can use are, and how can you objectively decide which data structure is better for your task. It’s a book for beginners, meaning that it assumes no previous knowledge and it leverages your intuition and visual memory, but even if you are familiar with the subject, you might find it useful to dust off and even get a deeper understanding of some of the topics. For readers who know the basics of Python. A perfect companion to Grokking Algorithms!
