Best Book on Algorithms for Beginners

[Moonraker101]

I want to get started in algorithms and I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions. Did some little digging myself, but found no luck. Thanks in Advance

PS: Don't recommend Introduction to Algorithms. I heard its pretty complicated and wouldn't suit a beginner like myself.

If you had problem following that stuff then I'd suggest you google them or post your doubts here. We'd be glad to help you ;)

If you still want something else here are a few suggestions:

Hi there,

Duoas has been working on a very good set of articles on sorting algorithms here: http://www.cplusplus.com/faq/sequences/sequencing/sort-algorithms/
The algorithms themselves are explained quite clearly, you don't necessarily need to understand all the optimizations or pro's and cons to get started with them.

A book I found interesting which isn't specifically about algorithms is C++ Data Structures by Nell Dale, it contains explanations of the most used data structures as well as algorithms to search and sort them.

All the best,
NwN

Thanks @NwN, I will give those articles a read.

@The Illusionist mirage, wow great list. Sure to find great books there. Thanks to both of you.
