Data Structures and Algorithms in C++

Most coding interview books teach answers. This book teaches you how to think, communicate, test, and improve under pressure.

Data Structures and Algorithms in C++ takes readers from basic loops and functions to interview-ready problem solving through 12 core patterns, 26 focused chapters, nine realistic interview transcripts, and more than 200 practice problems. Every structure is built from first principles in C++17, every major operation includes clear time and space complexity, and every worked example shows not only what to code, but also what to say.

Readers learn to recognize recurring problem patterns, choose the right data structure, explain trade-offs, recover from wrong starts, debug with the E-D-G-E method, and connect interview techniques to real production systems. Topics include arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, hashing, trees, heaps, tries, graphs, greedy algorithms, dynamic programming, bits, and modern C++.

With scored transcripts, capstone projects, a readiness test, practical checklists, and a four-week study plan, this book is a complete guide for students, graduates, and professionals preparing to solve confidently, communicate clearly, and perform strongly in technical interviews at leading technology companies worldwide.
