Data structures and algorithm analysis in C

by Mark Allen Weiss

In this second edition of his successful book, experienced teacher and author Mark Allen Weiss continues to refine and enhance his innovative approach to algorithms and data structures. Written for the advanced data structures course, this text highlights theoretical topics like abstract data types and the efficiency of algorithms, as well as performance and running time. This edition also includes a new chapter on advanced data structures and material on the Standard Template Library that conforms to the new standard. In addition, all code has been updated and tested on multiple platforms and conforms to the ANSI ISO Final Draft standard. Before covering algorithms and data structures, the author provides a brief introduction to C++ for programmers unfamiliar with the language. All of the source code will be available over the Internet. Dr. Weiss also distinguishes the book with his clear, friendly writing style, logical organization of topics, and extensive use of figures and examples that show the successive stages of an algorithm.

When I was having trouble learning basic data structures and algorithms (linked list, hash, etc...) I turned to this book since I already knew the C language well enough. This book taught me SO much and was so clear that I learned fairly quickly. It also taught me a lot more about pointers in C as well.

A great balance of theoretical rigorous and practical implementation. The book covers undergraduate data structure + algorithm. The level of theoretical rigorous is less than CLRS but I find it is a good supplemental to CLRS. For example, the author gives relative concise but still detail enough to the graph algorithms. CLRS gives much in-depth analysis. I would highly recommend anyone who wants to start learning algorithm to try out this book. In addition, the book also covers many advanced data structures like skiplist, kd-tree, and red-black tree.

I think that this is a great book for anyone starting to learn about data structures and algorithms. If you have some experience with any coding language, you should try this book.
It is to the point and not at all complex sparing the idea and concept that is being talked about. In the end the chapters on advanced algorithms are very good.

Read in my senior middle school. The book taught me data structures and algorithms for the first time. Very clear and informative.
