Product Description

This introduction to the fundamentals of data structures explores abstract concepts, considers how those concepts are useful in problem solving, explains how the abstractions can be made concrete by using a programming language, and shows how to use the C language for advanced programming and how to develop the advanced features of C++. Covers the C++ language, featuring a wealth of tested and debugged working programs in C and C++. Explains and analyzes algorithms — showing step- by-step solutions to real problems. Presents algorithms as intermediaries between English language descriptions and C programs. Covers classes in C++, including function members, inheritance and object orientation, an example of implementing abstract data types in C++, as well as polymorphism.

4.0 out of 5 stars Yes. It is not for beginners., March 19, 2000
By Steven Hill (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
I find it annoying when a book is negatively dished because it is not understood. How can you give a review on something that you don't understand? Yes, go ahead and feel frustrated; but, consider that it might have alot to offer and that you are missing some fundamental knowledge/skills that the book assumes. I too found the book challenging, but instead of quitting at difficult points, I simply researched the topic online or in more elementary books. In all cases once the lightbulb when on in my head, I'd go back to this book and was able to follow along and greatly appreciate it.

I really liked this book because it is very detailed without being chatty, it uses a good combination of C code and pseudo-code, isn't mathematically challenging and has a great index.

I'd give it a 5 if it provided more C code, introduced new topics more gradually, and provided answers and code for the many exercises because some important implementations are left as exercises. I do however understand why there are no answers to the exercises and why more C code is not provided -- it's meant as textbook for a university course. Also, if you are looking for C++ implemenations (I wasn't) in this book then you'll be disappointed because C++ is rarely discussed.

4.0 out of 5 stars certainly deserves more than 2 or 3 stars, August 11, 2000
Admitted it is not for a beginner,specially if one dosenot have a proper grasp over C.But did the authors claim that it was for beginners?I found their treatment of data structure to be pretty interesting.The authors mostly give psuedo codes which can be easily converted to an executable program.The numerous challenging problems are a great asset of the book. I haven't given 5 stars to the book primarily due to 2 reasons----- 1. some codes are unnecessarily complicated(BST deletion,AVl tree deletion etc.) 2. though the authors promise data structure in C++,they barely use any object oriented concepts.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a very good book in Data Structures, July 29, 1998
Hi, If you are interested in Mastering Trees (Binary Search Tree,Generic Tree & Multiway trees ) & Graphs ,this book could be a very good reference. This book has helped me a lot in solving practical problems of data structures.
