The goal of this book is summarized in thefollowing excerpt from the book-site:Our original goal for this book was to cover the 50 algorithms that everyprogrammer should know. We use the word programmer to refer to anyoneengaged in trying to accomplish something with the help of a computer,including scientists, engineers, and applications developers, not to mentioncollege students in science, engineering, and computer science.However, the algorithms for this project are not meant to be a ported version ofthe algorithms found in the book. Efforts should be made to implement thosealgorithms from the scratch following Pythonic coding style. Some of thealgorithms are well known and the reference for those algorithms should appearin the documentation. While, some of the algorithms are very specific anddifficult implement in a different way while maintaining accuracy andefficiency. Such algorithms appear in the scientific literatures and/or booksand those should be properly referenced as well.Features--------* Mainly for educational purposes, but can be useful in certain practical scenarios as well.* Consequently, built-in algorithms are avoided as much as possible and detailedimplementation is done from the scratch.* Preference is given towards a pythonic style rather than sticking to true OOP style.* Free software: BSD license.* Documentation: http://python_algorithms.rtfd.org.Algorithms----------Here is a list of algorithms divided into packages... Note:: Not all of the algorithms have been fully implemented yet.Basic=====A collection of few basic algorithms that do not fit in other packages. Trivialalgorithms and data structures that are built into python are skipped.* Binary search* Knuth shuffle* Stack* Queue* Bag* Union find:Estimated Release: 0.2.0Searching=========Specialized searching algorithms and/or corresponding data structures are included in this package.Although some of the following data structures, such as Hash, are implemented in python, they have been implemented for demonstration purpose.Unless, specific needs arise, the built-in data structures should be preferred in production code.* BST* Red black BST* Hash:Estimated Release: 0.3.0Sorting=======* Insertion* Selection* Merge* Quick* Quick 3 way* Shell* Heap:Estimated Release: 0.4.0Graph=====* Graph* Directed graph* BFS* BFS paths* DFS* DFS paths* Topological:Estimated Release: 0.5.0String======* LSD* MSD* Quick 3 string* TST* KMP* Rabin karp:Estimated Release: 0.6.0History-------0.1.0 (2014-02-14)++++++++++++++++++* First release on PyPI.0.2.0 (2014-04-15)++++++++++++++++++* Implemented the following data structures and algorithms:* Binary search* Knuth shuffle* Stack* Queue* Bag* Union find
