The Algorithm Design Manual - bplus - 04-20-2024

i stumbled onto this free book the other day, and just started reading through. looks really good for new challenges now that we aren't doing banners ;-))

featured according foreward is catelog of 75 algorithms, the author talks in psuedo code or mathy and examples are in C but i think more advanced qb64ers can figure out a translation.

Interesting book! Thanks for the tip.

nice, did you see the sudoku chapter


RE: The Algorithm Design Manual - bplus - 04-20-2024

ha! made me look vince
   

not seeing it, but 'stock picking' and 'subroutine call overhead' sure do look interesting!

just skimming one page in index and like KP says, Interesting!

+1 thanks @vince you just doubled my interest in the book, i was thinking sudoku would be a great recursion example because that is what is used in my app to find a solution.

Reminds me of L. Ron Hubbard, who similarly had little to say, but somehow expressed it in over a 1,000 written pages. When it comes to programming, I'll stick with the JFCI method. Just ******* code it!
