C# Data Structures and Algorithms

A complete guide on using data structures and algorithms to write sophisticated C# code

About This Book
‧Master array, set and map with trees and graphs, among other fundamental data structures
‧Delve into effective design and implementation techniques to meet your software requirements
‧Explore illustrations to present data structures and algorithms, as well as their analysis in a clear, visual manner.

Who This Book Is For

This book is for developers who would like to learn the Data Structures and Algorithms in C#. Basic C# programming knowledge would be an added advantage.

What You Will Learn
‧How to use arrays and lists to get better results in complex scenarios
‧Implement algorithms like the Tower of Hanoi on stacks of C# objects
‧Build enhanced applications by using hashtables, dictionaries and sets
‧Make a positive impact on efficiency of applications with tree traversal
‧Effectively find the shortest path in the graph

In Detail

Data structures allow organizing data efficiently. They are critical to various problems and their suitable implementation can provide a complete solution that acts like reusable code. In this book, you will learn how to use various data structures while developing in the C# language as well as how to implement some of the most common algorithms used with such data structures.

At the beginning, you will get to know arrays, lists, dictionaries, and sets together with real-world examples of your application. Then, you will learn how to create and use stacks and queues. In the following part of the book, the more complex data structures will be introduced, namely trees and graphs, together with some algorithms for searching the shortest path in a graph. We will also discuss how to organize the code in a manageable, consistent, and extendable way. By the end of the book,you will learn how to build components that are easy to understand, debug, and use in different applications.

Style and approach

Readers will be taken through all the indispensable data structures and algorithms so they can begin their coding journey in C#. At each step, the book will show how to implement these via examples while also discussing the attributes of each algorithm so readers are capable to make an informed choice.

Master the complexities of Bash shell scripting and unlock the power of shell for your enterprise

About This Book
‧Identify high-level steps such as verifying user input
‧Using the command line and conditional statements in creating/executing simple shell scripts
‧Create and edit dynamic shell scripts to manage complex and repetitive tasks
‧Leverage the command-line to bypass GUI and automate common tasks

Who This Book Is For

If you are a Linux administrator or a system administrator and are interested in automating tasks in your daily lives, saving time and effort, this book is for you. Basic shell scripting and command-line experience will be required. Familiarity with the tasks you need to automate will be helpful.

What You Will Learn
‧Make, execute, and debug your first Bash script
‧Create interactive scripts that prompt for user input
‧Foster menu structures for operators with little command-line experience
‧Develop scripts that dynamically edit web configuration files to produce a new virtual host
‧Write scripts that use AWK to search and reports on log files
‧Draft effective scripts using functions as building blocks, reducing maintenance and build time
‧Make informed choices by comparing different script languages such as Python with BASH

In Detail

In this book, you’ll discover everything you need to know to master shell scripting and make informed choices about the elements you employ.

Grab your favorite editor and start writing your best Bash scripts step by step. Get to grips with the fundamentals of creating and running a script in normal mode, and in debug mode. Learn about various conditional statements' code snippets, and realize the power of repetition and loops in your shell script. You will also learn to write complex shell scripts. This book will also deep dive into file system administration, directories, and system administration like networking, process management, user authentications, and package installation and regular expressions. Towards the end of the book, you will learn how to use Python as a BASH Scripting alternative.

By the end of this book, you will know shell scripts at the snap of your fingers and will be able to automate and communicate with your system with keyboard expressions.

Style and approach

The book will capture your attention and keep you engaged with the simplicity and clarity of each explanation. Every step is accompanied by screenshots so you can cross-check the results before moving on.
