Algorithms Review by learjeff
Excellent text on basic algorithms - too bad it's Pascal
This text covers the most useful material presented in Knuth's seminal series, but is much more readable in Pascal than in Knuth's notation, which was based on programming language concepts of the late 60's.
The example code is actually run by the typesetting system to generate the graphs showing the operation or efficiency of the algorithm, so you have a high confidence factor in the example code. Too bad it's in Pascal -- which is probably why this book is out of print.
I was very surprised at the low ratings awarded by reviewers to the paperback edition of Sedgewick's "Algorithms in C" -- yet there were good reviews of the hardcover edition. Evidently the example C code didn't meet the high standards of the Pascal version.
