Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs

Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs

Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs is a book written by Niklaus Wirth covering some of the fundamental topics of computer programming, particularly that algorithms and data structures are inherently related. For example, if one has a sorted list one will use a search algorithm optimal for sorted lists.
The book was one of the most influential computer science books of the time and, like Wirth's other work, extensively used in education[citation needed].
The Turbo Pascal compiler written by Anders Hejlsberg was largely inspired by the "Tiny Pascal" compiler in Niklaus Wirth's book.
