Searching & sorting algorithms form the back bone of coding acumen of developers. This book comprehensively covers In-depth tutorial & analysis of all major algorithms and techniques used to search and sort across data structures. All major variations of each algorithm (e.g. Ternary, Jump, Exponential, Interpolation are variations of Binary search). 110 real coding interview questions as solved examples and unsolved problems. Case studies of implementation of searching and sorting in language libraries. Introduction to how questions are asked and expected to answer on online competitive coding and hiring platforms like hackerrank.com, codechef.com, etc. Introduction to data structures.
I wanted to compute 80th term of the Fibonacci series. I wrote the rampant recursive function, int fib(int n){ return (1==n || 2==n) ? 1 : fib(n-1) + fib(n-2); } and waited for the result. I wait… and wait… and wait… With an 8GB RAM and an Intel i5 CPU, why is it taking so long? I terminated the process and tried computing the 40th term. It took about a second. I put a check and was shocked to find that the above recursive function was called 204,668,309 times while computing the 40th term. More than 200 million times? Is it reporting function calls or scam of some government? The Dynamic Programming solution computes 100th Fibonacci term in less than fraction of a second, with a single function call, taking linear time and constant extra memory. A recursive solution, usually, neither pass all test cases in a coding competition, nor does it impress the interviewer in an interview of company like Google, Microsoft, etc. The most difficult questions asked in competitions and interviews, are from dynamic programming. This book takes Dynamic Programming head-on. It first explain the concepts with simple examples and then deep dives into complex DP problems.
In my career spanning more than a decade, I have used C language in only two projects. All these years, I had either coded in C++, Java or C#. However, during interviews, I had always coded my solutions in C. When an interviewer asks you to implement a Stack having one extra operation, getMinimum that returns minimum element in current stack, you are expected to give your own implementation of stack from scratch and not use Stack class in Java library. C language allows your solution to be focused on the problem without unnecessary clutter of class and object definitions. Java and C# are good to showcase your design skills, but if the question is not explicitly about object-oriented design, C (or C++) provides flexibility to demonstrate your memory management skills and help implement everything required using data structure and algorithms. C is a lightweight language and is easy to learn in a short span of time. Understanding the internals of C helps comprehend other high-level languages better because nthe concepts and terminology remain the same. This book gives you an insight into the journey that your code goes through and best practices at each stage.
This volume is a fascinating, interpretative study of the life of the Prophet Muḥammad as depicted in the repertoire of fifty-one contemporary Egyptian singers. The repertoire is extremely diverse and ranges from narrative ballads, classical odes, and Qur'ānic chantings, to melodies of the secular songs of well-known Egyptian singers. The 'people's' Muḥammad appears as both a commanding figure, empowered by the supernatural, and a touchingly vulnerable human being, and provides this study with excellent material for its discussion of a subject that has not received much serious scholarly attention to date.
The book especially deals with the peasant unrest and uprisings in the erstwhile three districts of Assam viz. Kamrup, Darrang, and Nowgong from 1858 to 1894. The year 1858 has been taken as a starting point, as it has a special importance in the history of the British India. After the Great Mutiny of 1857, Assam, like other parts of India, went into the hands of the British Crown in 1858. The colonial government decided to augment the rate of revenue on land from this year with a view to meet their loss in the Great Mutiny. Hence, this year may be termed as the confrontation Year between the peasants and the government, which continued up to 1894 and even beyond that. The peasant unrest of Assam has fetched some new aspects into focus, and some of them has been referred herein proper places. The specific period (185894) has yet not been studied, albeit lots have been done in this field. It is because of that that it has received not due attention as is given to the same phenomena in other parts of India. This work is an endeavor to give as far as possible a comprehensive, accessible, and crystal picture of a series of complex scenario.
The book presents a detailed comparison between traditional construction techniques and 3D printing construction. The comparison focuses on four primary parameters: mechanism, composition, time and cost. The operational details of each technology (cast-in situ, pre-stress, post-tension) are reviewed and comparison criteria for all techniques are formulated. In conclusion, 3D printing seems to be well on its way to transform the whole construction industry. Keywords: 3D Concrete Printing, Cast-in-Situ Technology, Pre-Cast Technology, Pre-Stressed Technology, Post-Tension Technology, 3D-Printable Materials, Extrudability, Buildability, Workability, Open Time, Contact Strength between Layers, Aggregates, Water-Cement Ratio, Rheological and Mechanical Properties of 3D Printable Materials, Reinforcement Strategies, Printability Window, Cost Analysis, Green Concrete, Self-Healing Concrete.
Currently, the world, and more so the South Asian region, is unquestionably, gravely stressed geopolitically. As India confronts myriad and formidable challenges to its economic well-being and security, it has to synergise its genius and resources not only for its survival and sustenance but to be counted in the comity of nations where, by any standards, it deserves a seat on the global high table. Securing India's Rise, edited by one of India's leading military experts, Lt General Kamal Davar, is a labour of love and dedication to the glory of India in its march towards self-realisation as a nation not only for itself but to contribute towards global peace and harmony. Nineteen eminent Indians from diverse fields have contributed to this volume focusing on their areas of expertise-the lessons from each, if implemented, will contribute to ensuring India's inevitable rise. A path-breaking anthology, this is a must-read for intellectuals and those in the establishment, citizens, especially the youth, and all those who believe that India's rise has to be secured for itself and the good of the region and the world.
