This is a great book if you are taking either a data Structure class or you have trouble understanding Data Structures. Pros : The author has taken an entirely different approach to explain various data Structures . First the concept is explained through very clear explanation and diagrams wherever required . Then the author presents the code in pseudo code (which is not the actual code) . The pseudo code gives you the base...

This book is great and I don't know why so many people rated it negatively. I don't know if it's the best in data struct books because I haven't read all of them, but it's surely one of the top ones. Text is clearly written, very understanding step-by-step explanations accompanied with illustrations, diagrams, graphs, and charts. You don't need an instructor with this book, in fact, this is how I'm learning data struct now--on...

I know how to program in Java and I have basic knowledge of C/C++.I need to get up to speed on data structures and algorithms w/ogoing through mathematical "reasons" why a certain data structure andalgorithm is more efficient than another. I needed to know the whats and hows.This book gave me exactly that.I was able to convert the book's pseudocode into C code withoutpeeking at the author's actual implementation. This is...

I've taken a data structure course with this book long time ago. However(like all other Gilberg, Forouzan books), the book remains one of my favorites, combining concepts, graphics, and algorithms in the most efficient and helpful manner you are unlikely to find anywhere else.Now regarding somewhat negative comments made by previous posters as I have to disagree with them to say the least. The purpose of the book(and the...

This is an incredibly rich Data Structure text presented in a easy to read and straightforward manner. The text layout is appealing to the eye with lots of supporting pictures, diagrams, tables, Pseudocode algorithms, and program code. The Pseudocode is general for any language yet closely relates to C. The program code is in C. The Pseudo code logic covers all data structures very well. ~J Franzmeier
