Mark Allen Weiss' successful book provides a modern approach to algorithms and data structures using the C programming language. The book's conceptual presentation focuses on ADTs and the analysis of algorithms for efficiency, with a particular concentration on performance and running time. The second edition contains a new chapter that examines advanced data structures such as red black trees, top down splay trees, treaps, k-d trees, and pairing heaps among others. All code examples now conform to ANSI C and coverage of the formal proofs underpinning several key data structures has been strengthened.

Product description

From the Back Cover

In this second edition of his best-selling book, Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis in C, Mark Allen Weiss, continues to refine and enhance his innovative approach to algorithms and data structures. Using a C implementation, he highlights conceptual topics, focusing on ADTs and the analysis of algorithms for efficiency as well as performance and running time. Dr. Weiss also distinguishes Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis in C with the extensive use of figures and examples showing the successive stages of an algorithm, his engaging writing style, and a logical organization of topics.

Features

Includes a chapter on algorithm and design techniques that covers greedy algorithms, divide and conquer algorithms, dynamic programming, randomized algorithms, and backtracking
Presents current topics and newer data structures such as Fibonacci heaps, skew heaps, binomial queues, skip lists, and splay trees
Contains a chapter on amortized analysis that examines the advanced data structures presented earlier in the book
Provides a new chapter on advanced data structures and their implementation covering red black trees, top down splay trees, treaps, k-d trees, pairing heaps, and more
Incorporates new results on the average case analysis of heapsort

Excellent Coverage of Data Structures and Analysis of Algorithms

I borrowed this book from my workplace library and spent a couple of months working through it - This text is first rate, the discussion is lively and engaging and the problems are so good for building up your algorithm design and problem solving abilities. I had to order a copy for myself - to keep as a reference.
Data structures and Algorithm analysis is not an easy subject to master, you have to be prepared for work hard, and do lots of problems before you really appreciate the subject. There are lots of books out there, which try to dumb down the subject - I believe that is a false economy of effort. This author does not take that approach, he instead presents a treatment of Data structures and algorithm which sets you on the course to mastery.

I can't stress enough how much systematically working through the problems in this book, helped my in my day to day programming life.

Works, but I prefer a book with answers to the exercises especially for beginners.

A realy good book, for an old version. If you are a CS student this book is for you, it would be better if it contained solutions of the exercices in the same book, but its not a big problem be cause you can, if you want , buy the solutions manual.

Best book ever

I recently checked this book out at my college's library,
when I realized that I absolutely must have a copy of my
own. The book contains all the information that I would
need for the annual ACM programming contest, and as an added
plus, its written with regards to my programming language
of choice, C.
A must have reference.
