Features: This book introduces several commonly used typical algorithms used in the World Finals of the ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest (ACM/ICPC) and the regional preliminary contests of various continents. With examples, it provides a detailed analysis and clear explanation of how to flexibly apply these algorithms. The book follows the teaching principle of "focusing on concise explanations and abundant practice," and selects a representative set of contest questions in the last two chapters as exercises, each accompanied by solutions and basic test data, to serve as training material for readers after they have learned the fundamental algorithms. This book can be used as a tutorial for graduate and undergraduate students in relevant fields of higher education to participate in the International Collegiate Programming Contest, as a textbook or teaching reference for related courses in higher education institutions, and is also suitable as a training textbook and practice set for outstanding provincial and above-level competitors in the Youth Informatics Olympiad at the secondary school level.
