The source code in this repository requires Python 3.7 and installation of the typing_extensions package. Due to its extensive use of Python 3.7 features (data classes, advanced type hints, etc.), most of the source code will not work with earlier versions of Python. You can install the typing_extensions package with pip3 install typing_extensions or pip install typing_extensions depending on your Python/pip setup.
You can find general questions and descriptive information about the book on the Classic Computer Science Problems website. Also, feel free to reach out to me on Twitter, @davekopec. If you think you found an error in the source code, please open an issue up here on GitHub.

This is the second book in the Classic Computer Science Problems series by David Kopec and published by Manning. It aims to teach classic computer science problems in a Pythonic way. You may also want to checkout the first book in the series, Classic Computer Science Problems in Swift, which covers most of the same problems in a more Swifty way. You can check out the repository for that book on GitHub as well. A reader has also reimplemented the first five chapters of the book in C++.
