Data Structures and Algorithms

By Jeffrey D. Ullman, Alfred V. Aho, John E. Hopcroft

Book Overview

The authors' treatment of data structures in Data Structures and Algorithms is unified by an informal notion of "abstract data types," allowing readers to compare different implementations of the same concept. Algorithm design techniques are also stressed and basic algorithm analysis is covered. Most of the programs are written in Pascal.

A JEWEL

Perfect book. Nice and small. You can buy it cheap too, it's old. But it's full of the meat and potatoes, no fluffy Java source code. Sure, it uses Pascal, but it's not that hard to understand Pascal code even if you never programmed in Pascal (me neither). What matters is the discussions behind the scenes. It covers the whole range of what you should know and it's concise. They don't write books like this anymore.

The best introduction to the field - a pleasure to read

A textbook by Aho/Hopcroft/Ullman is sort of a guarantee of quality - and this one is no exception. These people are among the greatest researchers and teachers in Computer Science, and this book is a great opportunity to 'learn from the masters'. As an introduction to the fascinating field of Data Structures and Algorithms, this is perhaps the best textbook you'll find out there. Starting with the basics, the...

A classic text on programming

This book stands out among countless books written on the subject. It basically deals with the two ingrediants of programming ,Data Structures and Algorithms.The first part gives a wonderful introduction to the concept of Data Structures.It goes on to deal with several classes of Data Structures such as lists, stacks, queues, trees and graphs.. This book is profusely illustrated with examples, and lots of exercises for the...

The Best Intro To Data Structures and Algorithms

I was lucky enough to take a course in Data Structures and Algorithms with Prof. Aho and this was the text. Probably the best I have ever used. As friends and associates went through school they would invariably throw away the book they'd bought for their Data Structures course and buy a copy of this. Clear, concise, full of good code. A must
