Algorithms In Visual Basic

This is the first Visual Basic.NET book to provide a comprehensive discussion of the major data structures and algorithms. Here, instead of having to translate material on C++ or Java, the professional or student VB.NET programmer will find a tutorial on how to use data structures and algorithms and a reference for implementation using VB.NET for data structures and algorithms from the .NET Framework Class Library as well as those which must be developed by the programmer. In an object-oriented fashion, the author presents arrays and arraylists, linked lists, hash tables, dictionaries, trees, graphs, sorting and searching as well as more advanced algorithms, such as probabilistic algorithms and dynamic programming. His approach is very practical, for example using timing tests rather than Big O analysis to compare the performance of data structures and algorithms. This book can be used in both beginning and advanced computer programming courses that use the VB.NET language and, most importantly, by the professional VB programmer.

For programmers that lack the advanced mathematical background to bring algorithms to their work, this text is a straightforward working introduction to Visual Basic's algorithms. It details algorithms and their implementations for dozens of common programming tasks, including memory allocation, sorting, searching, hashing, trees, networking, and more.

This is a very complete and modern reference for professionals and students on implementing algorithms in Visual Basic. Beginning with an introduction to the subject, the book covers data structures, Visual Basic programming for algorithms, sorting algorithms, search techniques, fundamental graph algorithms, geometric algorithms, arithmetical algorithms, curve fitting, linear programming, Fast Fourier Transforms, and cryptology. This comprehensive guide is destined to become the definitive algorithm reference for all Visual Basic programmers.

This valuable book/disk offers scientists, engineers, statisticians and programmers a toolbox of essential numerical routines in Visual Basic. Providing the routines in Visual Basic offers an excellent method for scientists and engineers familiar with BASIC to learn Visual Basic through mathematical routines they can use every day in their work.

All the Visual Basic algorithms you'll ever need and how to use them This book/CD package arms you with a library of powerful algorithms completely implemented in Visual Basic source code. Just as importantly, it shows you how, when, and where to use them . . . or not to use them. It covers classic VB algorithms as well as the latest VB object-oriented techniques for handling just about any design requirement you'll encounter, such as managing data structures, sorting, searching, hashing, networking, and other important program functions. In plain English, and with the help of sample code and scads of working examples, VB expert Rod Stephens explains how algorithms work and: * Describes techniques for selecting the best ones for your projects * Tutors you in methods for analyzing how they will perform in your programs * Acquaints you with programming techniques for solving problems as they arise * Supplies algorithms for most programming situations * Covers new object-oriented VB algorithms-how they work and how to use them * Introduces new concepts and techniques for programming in multiple versions of VB. The CD-ROM supplies you with: * Source code for all the algorithms described * Test programs to try them out * Examples and tests to help you gauge and fine-tune your skills.

C# programmers: no more translating data structures from C++ or Java to use in your programs! Mike McMillan provides a tutorial on how to use data structures and algorithms plus the first comprehensive reference for C# implementation of data structures and algorithms found in the .NET Framework library, as well as those developed by the programmer. The approach is very practical, using timing tests rather than Big O notation to analyze the efficiency of an approach. Coverage includes arrays and array lists, linked lists, hash tables, dictionaries, trees, graphs, and sorting and searching algorithms, as well as more advanced algorithms such as probabilistic algorithms and dynamic programming. This is the perfect resource for C# professionals and students alike.

This title teaches Object-Oriented Programming using Visual Basic .NET instead of Java or C++. The chapters are sequenced in a manner that continually builds a solid foundation of understanding for the next topic.
