Features: If asked to list their favorite books, programmers often place Jon Bentley's Programming Pearls among the classics. Just as pearls come from sand that has tortured oysters, the pearls of programming design also come from problems that have once tormented programmers. Bentley's pearls go beyond the realm of reliable engineering, offering unique and ingenious solutions to troublesome problems through insight and creativity. Through a series of carefully designed, engaging, and instructive programs, the book is filled with clear and witty descriptions of practical programming techniques and fundamental design principles. It's no surprise that Programming Pearls is favored by programmers at all levels. Bentley has thoroughly updated most of the material in the edition to reflect current programming methods and environments. Additionally, new content has been added on the following three aspects: · Testing, debugging, and timing. · Collection representations. · String problems. All original programs have been rewritten, and an equivalent amount of new code has been generated. You can obtain C or C++ implementations of all the programs from the book's website.
