The format of the book
Besides the coverage, the book insight explains how we format the book. The current edition (2nd edition) of the book has PDF and ePub format. The PDF uses “Complete-Code-In-One-Page” format. The question and the code display on one page, not across over to the next page. This format makes it easy to read and compare the similarity between questions. Here are the examples:
The ePub format shows one function per page. It is perfect to be used as a pocket book. You can use it anytime, anywhere on the go.
Source code included
The book comes with the source code. The source code provides the full question statement, sample input, and output. It also has an explanation of Big O notations. Sometimes, alternative solutions are available for follow-up questions. Make sure to study them along with the book.
