Some sections of the text—usually starred—are omitted from the lecture notes. We have included lecture notes for one starred section: The asides are typeset in a slanted font and are enclosed in square brackets. If you are projecting a presentation rather than writing on a blackboard or whiteboard, you might want to mark slides containing this material so that you can easily come back to them later in the lecture. We have chosen not to indicate how long it takes to cover material, as the time necessary to cover a topic depends on the instructor, the students, the class schedule, and other variables.
Lines are not numbered in the lecture notes. We avoid using the length attribute of an array. Instead, we pass the array length as a parameter to the procedure. This change makes the pseudocode more concise, as well as matching better with the description of what it does.
The solutions The solutions are based on the same sources as the lecture notes. They are written a bit more formally than the lecture notes, though a bit less formally than the text. We do not number lines of pseudocode, but we do use the length attribute on the assumption that you will want your students to write pseudocode as it appears in the text. The index lists all the exercises and problems for which this manual provides solutions, along with the number of the page on which each solution starts.
Asides appear in a handful of places throughout the solutions. We apologize for this inconvenience. It enables you to typeset pseudocode in the same way that we do.
That site also includes documentation. Please report errors by sending email to clrs-manual-bugs mhhe. We thank you in advance for your assistance in correcting errors in both this manual and the text. The other three Introduction to Algorithms authors—Charles Leiserson, Ron Rivest, and Cliff Stein—provided helpful comments and suggestions for solutions to exercises and problems. At this point, we do not know which TAs wrote which solutions, and so we simply thank them collectively.
Phillip Meek of McGrawHill helped us hook this manual into their web site. Start using frameworks for describing and analyzing algorithms.
Examine two algorithms for sorting: insertion sort and merge sort. See how to describe algorithms in pseudocode. Begin using asymptotic notation to express running-time analysis. Insertion sort The sorting problem Input: A sequence of n numbers a1 , a2 ,. Output: A permutation reordering a1 , a2 ,. The sequences are typically stored in arrays. We also refer to the numbers as keys. Along with each key may be additional information, known as satellite data.
Expressing algorithms We express algorithms in whatever way is the clearest and most concise. English is sometimes the best way. When issues of control need to be made perfectly clear, we often use pseudocode.
If you know any of these languages, you should be able to understand pseudocode. Pseudocode is designed for expressing algorithms to humans. Software engineering issues of data abstraction, modularity, and error handling are often ignored. We sometimes embed English statements into pseudocode. Insertion sort A good algorithm for sorting a small number of elements.
Start with an empty left hand and the cards face down on the table. Then remove one card at a time from the table, and insert it into the correct position in the left hand. At all times, the cards held in the left hand are sorted, and these cards were originally the top cards of the pile on the table. Takes as parameters an array A[1. There are a few places in later chapters where we use 0-origin indexing instead.
An easier option is, when using an array A[1. That saves us a line of pseudocode each time. The solutions continue to use the length attribute. It presents many algorithms and covers them in considerable depth, yet makes their design and analysis accessible to all levels of readers. We have tried to keep explanations elementary without sacrificing depth of coverage or mathematical rigor.
Each chapter presents an algorithm, a design technique, an application area, or a related topic. The book contains over figures illustrating how the algorithms work. Since we emphasize efficiency as a design criterion, we include careful analyses of the running times of all our algorithms.
The text is intended primarily for use in undergraduate or graduate courses in algorithms or data structures. Introduction to Algorithms. International Student Paperback Edition.
Customers in the US and Canada must order the Cloth edition of this title. The updated new edition of the classic Introduction to Algorithms is intended primarily for use in undergraduate or graduate courses in algorithms or data structures.
Like the first edition, this text can also be used for self-study by technical professionals since it discusses engineering issues in algorithm design as well. Introduction to Algorithms, Second Edition. Introduction to Algorithms, third edition. Authors: Thomas H. Cormen, Charles E. Leiserson, Ronald L. Rivest, Clifford Stein. The latest edition of the essential text and professional reference, with substantial new material on such topics as vEB trees, multithreaded algorithms, dynamic programming, and edge-based flow.
Some books on algorithms are rigorous but incomplete; others cover masses of material but lack rigor. Introduction to Algorithms uniquely combines rigor and.
