Data structures allow you to store and organize data efficiently. They are critical to any problem, provide a complete solution, and act like reusable code. Hands-On Data Structures and Algorithms with Python teaches you the essential Python data structures and the most common algorithms for building easy and maintainable applications. This book covers the following exciting features: * Understand object representation, attribute binding, and data encapsulation * Gain a solid understanding of Python data structures using algorithms * Study algorithms using examples with pictorial representation * Learn complex algorithms through easy explanation, implementing Python * Build sophisticated and efficient data applications in Python * Understand common programming algorithms used in Python data science * Write efficient and robust code in Python 3.7 If you feel this book is for you, get your [copy](https://www.amazon.com/dp/1788995570) today! <a href="https://www.packtpub.com/?utm_source=github&utm_medium=banner&utm_campaign=GitHubBanner"><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PacktPublishing/GitHub/master/GitHub.png" alt="https://www.packtpub.com/" border="5" /></a> ## Errata * Page 105: Fourth line in the first code block must be read as "self.head = None" instead of "self.tail = None". * Page 108: Fifth line in the first code block must be read as "self.size -= 1" instead of "self.count -= 1". ## Instructions and Navigations All of the code is organized into folders. For example, Chapter02. The code will look like the following: ``` class Node: def __init__(self, data=None): self.data = data self.next = None ``` **Following is what you need for this book:** This book is for developers who want to learn data structures and algorithms in Python to write complex and flexible programs. Basic Python programming knowledge is expected. With the following software and hardware list you can run all code files present in the book (Chapter 1-15). ### Software and Hardware List | Chapter | Software required | OS required | | -------- | ------------------------------------| -----------------------------------| | 1 | Python 3.7 | Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux (Any) | We also provide a PDF file that has color images of the screenshots/diagrams used in this book.
