Which book would you recommend me for learning algorithms, like one I would be able to go to chapters or any book store, and be able to buy. |

I second CLRS above although it might be a little overwhelming at first if it's your first foray into Data Structures and Algorithms.
I would also recommend 'The Algorithm Design Manual' http://www.amazon.ca/Algorithm-Design-Manual-Steven-Skiena/dp/1848000693 It's less rigorous than CLRS (Skiena is not interested in the extremely rigorous mathematics which is widespread in CLRS) but I would say it's an easier read and does a great job teaching the material. Part II of the book is almost a 250 page appendix of common data structures and algorithms that make the book worth having just as a reference even if you are learning the material from another source. |
