I found this book easy to read and the codes are explain in details. I recomend this book for those who are learning data structures.

The only bad thing is that this book is a little outdated.

This book is a good introduction to the real world of computer programming and computer science---if you know C. However, time has moved on, and objects are now de rigeur. C++ is the new C, and a better choice for books would be one that teaches the same subject using C++ (or C#, or Java, or Python, or Ruby, or Perl, or...) Still, for some purposes, such as OS programming, device drivers, embedded application, and so on, C is still the standard, and for those applications, this book will suffice. I would add, it is a textbook that belongs in a classroom, with an instructor present to explain and give alternative examples to those found in the book. Independent-minded people might do better looking for a book written in the last five years.

The book covers the basic data structres, such as linked lists, stacks, queues, hashing, trees, tries, and heaps, but it lacks some of the insights gained since it was written. Red-black tress, skip lists, speed trees, and other similar innovatons are not covered.

Also, this book is not a good book for the study of algorithms. To do that subject justice, a book dedicated solely to the subject is needed. This book only gives those algorithms that are needed to use the data structures the book covers.

In short, this is a good book to read if you already know the subject, but are rusty on it. Those learning it anew are advised to look elsewhere.

Excellent book, full of code and best of all, full with good examples; very important in this topic that is often cover merely as ADT. Stacks, queues, list, trees, everything is covered here. The chapter about trees is specially detailed, and topics like sorting and searching are covered in a separated chapter. I lost mine some time ago, and I did not hesitate to buy it again.

..this book is very easy to read... and there are very very exercices to help in the learning, also the topics of structures data is sufficent vast!

good luck!

If you are interested in trees (Binary Search,Generic & Multiway ) & Graphs this book could be a very good reference. Common Data Structures are also dealt with very nicely.
