Practical Algorithm Book, Exercises and Answers

[utab]

Dear all,

I have been searching for an Algorithm book which groups common kinds
(such as: recursion is most useful in these kinds of problems, sth like
that ) of problems and explains them with example code. And including
some exercises to practice those algorithms on, maybe simple, some
problems and of course providing the answers as well.

Regards.

I started with Dr Knuth's series -- The Art of Computer Programming.
Definitely top-knotch.

Another popular (smaller) book is:
Algorithms in C++ (R. Sedgwick), Ed., Addison-Wesley

This would be more appropriate on comp.programming.

I haven't used this book, but based on its title and description you
might consider: "The Algorithm Design Manual" by Steven Skiena.

I'd recommend reading through this thread:

It's not terribly long, but still gives a couple of
rather different viewpoints.
