This book is for intermediate to advanced developers, who already know the basics of iOS and Swift development and want to dive deep into animations"--Back cover.
The book focuses initially on linked lists. Discussion of trees escalates from from binary search trees to culminate in dynamically, self-balancing AVL trees where search, insertion or removal are all generally O(log n). Where the time complexity serves as a natural transition, the book then turns to search such as binary search being O(log n), as covered in Chapter 12, or other searching such as breadth or depth first searching in Chapter 20 and Chapter 21 and sorting algorithms such as comparison based sorting (i.e., bubble, selection, or insertion in Chapter 14) or other types of sorting such as merge in Chapter 15, radix in Chapter 16, or heap in Chapter 17. The book covers heap in Chapter 12, stack in Chapter 4, queues in Chapter 5 & Chapter 13, graphs in Chapter 19, Dijkstra's algorithm in Chapter 22 and prim's in Chapter 23--Book review by Eric Giannini.
