Outstanding features of the second edition include a revised section on optimum sorting and new discussions of the theory of permutations and of universal hashing.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Donald Knuth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0201896850\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780201896855\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Addison-Wesley Professional\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/24\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 800\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.49h x 6.65w x 1.71d","brand":"Donald Knuth","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43913411428607,"sku":"9780201896855","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_e50aeed5-52d7-4f24-96c2-32865d24b810.jpg?v=1680620271","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-art-of-computer-programming-donald-e-knuth-9780201896855","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
