Paperback. Fourteen days of drills that turn data structures and algorithms into something you can use under pressure. This is a book of problems. Every rule is stated in as few words as it can be, shown working in a short program with its real captured output, and then handed back as drills. Nothing is asserted that is not also demonstrated: every listing in the book was run with CPython 3.11.0 and warnings turned into errors, and every printed result was captured from that run. The programming problems build one real tool across the fourteen days. It is called tally, a command-line text index. It begins on Day 1 as a word counter and gains, day by day, a growing buffer, a document list, a query parser, a ranking, a heap, a postings list, a hash index, an ordered vocabulary, prefix search, a co-occurrence graph, related-term search and spelling suggestions. Each day's tool is the previous day's tool with one structure added, so the reason for each structure arrives before the structure does. The two weeks run in three movements. Days 1 to 5 build the foundations: the cost model, arrays and dynamic arrays, linked lists, stacks and queues, and recursion with backtracking. Days 6 to 9 cover sorting, heaps and priority queues, searching and two pointers, and hash tables. Days 10 to 14 cover binary search trees, balanced trees and tries, graphs and traversal, shortest paths and spanning trees, and finally dynamic programming and greedy algorithms. Every chapter has the same shape. Numbered sections state the rules. Twenty worked examples show each rule running, each with a complete program, its real output, a figure and a short explanation. Then a fixed ladder of five problem sets: review questions, worked problems with full solutions, worked programming problems with complete programs, and unassisted practice problems in both written and programming form. The answers to the review questions are at the end of the chapter. The practice problems have no answers anywhere, by design.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
