algorithms

This is one of the 2 texts we've had for our data structures course. I'm not sure what the other book is, because this one was so good. It covered the material in a clear and precise way. I even have a copy of this book today, for further reference!

This is my favorite data structures and algorithms book for three reasons. First, this book is well written and easy to read, and that's not always the case for a book like this. Second, it's concise, small, and easy to carry. I'm a consultant who changes assignments often and convenience can be important. And third, the text book problems at the end of each chapter are very interesting and always stretch the mind. There's even a final chapter called Engineering with Data Structures that contains lots of fun computational problems for a rainy afternoon. If you love programming, you'll love this book!

I seriously like this book. It's explaining is close to crystal clear to me when I read it, and the algorithms listed (in pseudo-code) take it to a practical level.
