Algorithms for programmers ideas and source code

The style varies somewhat which I do not consider bad per se: While some topics (as fast Fourier transforms) need a clear and explicit introduction others (like the bit wizardry chapter) seem to be best presented by basically showing the code with just a few comments.

The pseudo language Sprache is used when I see a clear advantage to do so, mainly when the corresponding

C++ does not appear to be self explanatory. Larger pieces of code are presented in C++. C programmers

do not need to be shocked by the ‘++’ as only a rather minimal set of the C++ features is used. Some

of the code, especially in part 3 (Arithmetical algorithms), is given in the pari/gp language as the use of

other languages would likely bury the idea in technicalities.
