Algorithms [Sedgewick, Robert]

It is hoped that the essential features of the algorithms are best exposed through simple direct implementations in a near-universal language. For the same reason, the programming style is somewhat terse, using short variable names and few comments, so that the control structures stand out. The “documentation” of the algorithms is the accompanying text. It is expected that readers who use these programs in actual applications will flesh them out somewhat in adapting them for a particular use.
