编程珠玑(第2版•修订版)

历史上最伟大的计算机科学著作之一 融深邃思想、实战技术与趣味轶事于一炉的奇书 带你真正领略计算机科学之美 多年以来,当程序员们推选出最心爱的计算机图书时,《编程珠玑》总是位于前列。正如自然界里珍珠出自细沙对牡蛎的磨砺,计算机科学大师Jon Bentley以其独有的洞察力和创造力,从磨砺程序员的实际问题中凝结出一篇篇不朽的编程“珠玑”,成为世界计算机界名刊《ACM通讯》历史上最受欢迎的专栏,最终结集为两部不朽的计算机科学经典名著,影响和激励着一代又一代程序员和计算机科学工作者。本书为第一卷,主要讨论计算机科学中最本质的问题:如何正确选择和高效地实现算法。 在书中,作者选取许多具有典型意义的复杂编程和算法问题,生动描绘了历史上众大师们在探索解决方案中发生的轶事、走过的弯路和不断精益求精的历程,引导读者像真正的程序员和软件工程师那样富于创新性地思考,并透彻... 历史上最伟大的计算机科学著作之一 融深邃思想、实战技术与趣味轶事于一炉的奇书 带你真正领略计算机科学之美 多年以来,当程序员们推选出最心爱的计算机图书时,《编程珠玑》总是位于前列。正如自然界里珍珠出自细沙对牡蛎的磨砺,计算机科学大师Jon Bentley以其独有的洞察力和创造力,从磨砺程序员的实际问题中凝结出一篇篇不朽的编程“珠玑”,成为世界计算机界名刊《ACM通讯》历史上最受欢迎的专栏,最终结集为两部不朽的计算机科学经典名著,影响和激励着一代又一代程序员和计算机科学工作者。本书为第一卷,主要讨论计算机科学中最本质的问题:如何正确选择和高效地实现算法。 在书中,作者选取许多具有典型意义的复杂编程和算法问题,生动描绘了历史上众大师们在探索解决方案中发生的轶事、走过的弯路和不断精益求精的历程,引导读者像真正的程序员和软件工程师那样富于创新性地思考,并透彻阐述和总结了许多独特而精妙的设计原则、思考和解决问题的方法以及实用程序设计技巧。解决方案的代码均以C/C++语言编写,不仅有趣,而且有很大的实战示范意义。每章后所附习题极具挑战性和启发性,书末给出了简洁的解答。 本书是计算机科学方面的经典名著。书的内容围绕程序设计人员面对的一系列实际问题展开。作者Jon Bentley 以其独有的洞察力和创造力,引导读者理解这些问题并学会解决方法,而这些正是程序员实际编程生涯中至关重要的。本书的特色是通过一些精心设计的有趣而又颇具指导意义的程序,对实用程序设计技巧及基本设计原则进行了透彻而睿智的描述,为复杂的编程问题提供了清晰而完备的解决思路。本书对各个层次的程序员都具有很高的阅读价值。 书评 “《编程珠玑》是对我职业生涯早期影响最大的书之一,其中的许多真知灼见多年之后仍然使我受益匪浅。” ——Steve McConnell,软件工程大师,IEEE Software前主编,《代码大全》作者

"The first edition of Programming Pearls was one of the most influential books I read early in my career, and many of the insights I first encountered in that book stayed with me long after I read it. Jon has done a wonderful job of updating the material. I am very impressed at how fresh the new examples seem."
—Steve McConnell

When programmers list their favorite books, Jon Bentley's collection of programming pearls is commonly included among the classics. Just as natural pearls grow from grains of sand that irritate oysters, programming pearls have grown from real problems that have irritated real programmers. With origins beyond solid engineering, in the realm of insight and creativity, Bentley's pearls offer unique and clever solutions to those nagging problems. Illustrated by programs designed as much for fun as for instruction, the book is filled with lucid and witty descriptions of practical programming techniques and fundamental design principles. It is not at all surprising that Programming Pearls has been so highly valued by programmers at every level of experience.

In this revision, the first in 14 years, Bentley has substantially updated his essays to reflect current programming methods and environments. In addition, there are three new essays on
• testing, debugging, and timing
• set representations
• string problems All the original programs have been rewritten, and an equal amount of new code has been generated. Implementations of all the programs, in C or C++, are now available on the Web.

What remains the same in this new edition is Bentley's focus on the hard core of programming problems and his delivery of workable solutions to those problems. Whether you are new to Bentley's classic or are revisiting his work for some fresh insight, the book is sure to make your own list of favorites.

The essays in this book present programs that go beyond solid engineering techniques to be creative and clever solutions to computer problems. The programs are fun and teach important programming tecniques and fundamental design principles.
