40 Algorithms Every Programmer Should Know Hone your problem-solving skills by learning different algorithms and their implementation in PythonLearn algorithms for solving classic computer science problems with this concise guide covering everything from fundamental algorithms, such as sorting and searching, to modern algorithms used in machine learning and cryptographyKey FeaturesLearn the techniques you need to know to design algorithms for solving complex problemsBecome familiar with neural networks and deep learning techniquesExplore different types of algorithms and choose the right data structures for their optimal implementationBook DescriptionAlgorithms have always played an important role in both the science and practice of computing. Beyond traditional computing, the ability to use algorithms to solve real-world problems is an important skill that any developer or programmer must have. This book will help you not only to develop the skills to select and use an algorithm to solve real-world problems but also to understand how it works. You’ll start with an introduction to algorithms and discover various algorithm design techniques, before exploring how to implement different types of algorithms, such as searching and sorting, with the help of practical examples. As you advance to a more complex set of algorithms, you'll learn about linear programming, page ranking, and graphs, and even work with machine learning algorithms, understanding the math and logic behind them. Further on, case studies such as weather prediction, tweet clustering, and movie recommendation engines will show you how to apply these algorithms optimally. Finally, you’ll become well versed in techniques that enable parallel processing, giving you the ability to use these algorithms for compute-intensive tasks. By the end of this book, you'll have become adept at solving real-world computational problems by using a wide range of algorithms.What you will learnExplore existing data structures and algorithms found in Python librariesImplement graph algorithms for fraud detection using network analysisWork with machine learning algorithms to cluster similar tweets and process Twitter data in real timePredict the weather using supervised learning algorithmsUse neural networks for object detectionCreate a recommendation engine that suggests relevant movies to subscribersImplement foolproof security using symmetric and asymmetric encryption on Google Cloud Platform (GCP)Who this book is forThis book is for programmers or developers who want to understand the use of algorithms for problem-solving and writing efficient code.
