About the Book:

This well-organized and thoroughly revised text independent of programming language provides the design techniques of algorithms in a simple and straightforward manner. It describes the complete design, development and analysis of various algorithms along with their pseudo-codes in order to have an understanding of their applications.

The book begins with a description of the fundamental concepts and basic design techniques of algorithms. Gradually, it introduces more complex and advanced topics such as dynamic programming, backtracking, branch & bound and Non-deterministic algorithms.

Salient Features:

• Gives a thorough analysis of the fundamental and advanced concepts of algorithms.
• Provides many solved examples to enhance students ability to grasp the concepts discussed.
• Supplies well-graded exercises to test students understanding of the subject.
• Chapter wise Review Questions & Object questions are provided.
• Prepared as per JNTU-R13 Regulation Syllabus.
