What books/materials are better for pulling up algorithms and data structures?

Question

Programming

I understand that on the issue you can google a lot of things on your own, but still I would like to hear from living people. The fact is that I started programming a few years ago, got bogged down in web development and various applied tasks, while algorithms and data structures remained a fat gap in knowledge, because. they were not taught to us at the institute, for which I am still angry at our faculty. Now I decided to do some self-education so as not to blush at interviews. Advise on what materials can be the fastest way to study them? So that without water and a maximum of practice (for example, some kind of intensive problem book on subject with examples and tasks with answers). Reading Knuth and Wirth is, of course, the most useful thing, but there is simply no time for such large-scale opuses.
Thanks in advance.

They recommend the following books:

• Cormen, Leiserson, Rivest, and Stein, Introduction to Algorithms (3rd edition)
  
• Dasgupta, Papadimitriou, and Vazirani, Algorithms (free, google)
  
• Kleinberg and Tardos, Algorithm Design
  
• Sedgewick and Wayne, Algorithms (4th edition) ( algs4.cs.princeton.edu/home/)
