Book Description

Publication Date: January 1994 | ISBN-10: 0805354433 | ISBN-13: 978-0805354430

In this adaptation of his successful book, Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis, Mark Allen Weiss provides an innovative approach to algorithms and data structures in C++. He highlights conceptual topics, focusing on ADTs and the analysis of algorithms for efficiency as well as performance and running time. Dr. Weiss also distinguishes Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis in C++ with his clear, friendly writing style, logical organization or topics, and extensive use of figures and examples that show the successive stages of an algorithm. 0805354433B04062001

3.0 out of 5 stars Don't expect too much...., July 22, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis in C++ (Textbook Binding)

Well, this books covers almost all important chapters that are needed in an Algorithm course. However, detailed explainations of algorithm analysis is totally insufficient, only one or two pages are used to explain the algorithm/theory. You can always find this book too dry for large block of words printed on a whole page -- that's scaring

1.0 out of 5 stars Let the confusion begin, January 26, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis in C++ (Textbook Binding)

Weiss must think he's gods gift to C++ programming, because this book was written way beyond the level of a student trying to first learn his material. Very poorly written, confusing, with pseudocode which left the reader hanging. Definately, DO NOT buy this book unless forced to due to homework problems, for it will rot on your bookshelf for eternity, daunting you that such a book was ever even published for student use.

A pity that such a distinguished professor would take the time to publish such a horrible book only to torment struggling CS students.

1.0 out of 5 stars Try other data structure books!, September 27, 1998

This review is from: Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis in C++ (Textbook Binding)

I am also taking a data structure class and this book is the textbook they use for the class. I totally agree with the other reviewer! This book is so academic that it's not easy to digest if you're a beginner to data structure. It is really boring with no real-life examples. This book is a total waste of money! I wouldn't recommend it at all.
