Data Structures and Algorithms in C++

This book is complete garbage when using the most arbitrary language to attempt to get the point across about any topic that it goes over. There are far better resources that you can find online about the topic that are gone over in this book. My experience is get the questions from a friend and use geeksforgeeks.com or youtube to help you understand the topics. book 2/10 seller 10/10 for fast shipping and returning.

Really excellent book on the topic, I own both the C++ and Python versions of this book... The c++ version is highly exercise driven.. the book explains the basics in each chapter... And gives you exercises to fill the complete versions yourself...

Beautifully written. Informative. A pleasure to read. Excellent synopsis for teachers of C++.

This is a highly technical text on the topic of data structures and algorithmic design. Data structures as used within the text are the encapsulation of data variables into a data object: coming from a C background, think of them as a "struct". Unlike C though, C++ encapsulates the methods or functions that are used to manipulate the data variables as well.Simply put, an algorithm is the recipe for manipulating the data in an object.This is not a text for those inexperienced in programming with C++. It is not a beginners text. Even with a couple of years exposure to programming in C++, C, and Java, I found this text a challenge to fully comprehend. I would offer that even after two readings, I am still learning concepts presented in the book every time I re-read.It is up to the standard of C++11, and utilizes some of the newer standard features such as the vector class, for example.Whether you are required to purchase this book for a course, or as an addition to your personal library, I personally think it is an excellent reference. It was a required text for a course I was enrolled, but it has become a permanent part of my reference library because I have found the information and concepts presented to be useful after two reads. And I am looking forward to the time when I can read a 3rd.There are a lot of projects and exercises in the text, more than any one individual can complete in a semester.If you have the opportunity to review a copy at the library or a bookstore, I think you will find it to be a challenging and desirable text for your personal library.Respectfully,MJR

was good just what i needed in the expected time

love it, very nice condition

While this is a good book for giving information about data structures, every single one of the coding examples were much too complicated to be of much use. Instead of giving a easy to understand code sample, there were layers and layers of different classes which made it really hard to understand what the authors were trying to show and almost impossible to actually recreate. Good 'ol google came to the rescue almost every time, instead. This was required for a class, but if you're using it on your own you might want to try another book.

It's great book for advanced leaner!
