Hello All

I am someone who graduated some time back and was not able to score their first job in the field. I am recently getting back into programming a bit more as a hobby. In particular I am toying around with Rust and a bit of C#.

Was wondering what books you all used for data and algo class? It would be good if you know some with those languages in mind, but otherwise just a book that is more generic would be great too.

I don't have any experience reading similar books to say if this is a good one, but it was the book we were assigned for class. Algorithms are written in pseudocode. I sometimes use it as a reference.

This a very good book on algorithms. Another good one is "The art of computer programming" by Donald Knuth. He also created Tex.
