Problem Solving in Data Structures & Algorithms Using Python

This book has been an excellent resource for my interview preparation. The language is straightforward, and the large number of solved problems has really helped me get a good grasp of the material. It's especially useful if you’re targeting companies like Google and Amazon. Additionally, the paper quality is very good, with a solid binding that makes the book firm and durable.

I bought the third edition of this book. The positive things: The chapters and content is relevant and covers all the important aspects that I was looking for. The bad things: The author did not check properly for mistakes. Example: On p. 10 at example 1.1, the code shows a while loop but the title refers to "Time Complexity: O(n), single for loop...". The exponents are not typed nicely as you would expect from a book, e.g. n^2. Overall the proofreading seems not been done well.

I've always struggled with dynamic programming, but this book breaks it down in a way that finally makes sense to me. The author divides problems into pattens, which really helped me to understand the concepts better. Plus, there are tons of solved problems to practice with!

I’m preparing for interviews, and this book has been a game-changer. It’s packed with diagrams that make understanding complex concepts much easier. This is especially useful for someone like me who needs visual aids to learn effectively.
