Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis in C++ (3rd Edition)
$122.00
The book is in great condition, and is the correct American version, as well as the third edition.
Great introduction to c++ data structures. It may be wise to learn some basic c or c++ first though.

This book provide very practical programming details, still keep simplicity for novice, like me. This is recommended!

Hyperbolic remarks about this book will mislead you into thinking that this book is absolutely unique, when it's not. The material here is standard and present on many, many algorithms and data structures book.

Furthermore, this book is dated, as it uses Pascal. It has very little relevance for today's world of collections of data structures made by experts (on Java, C#, Eiffel, Smalltlak, etc.) which are resources you need to know how to tap into to be more productive.

And as a last point, algorithm analysis is not the strong point of this book either, as it is just a late chapeter in the book and gets nowhere near advanced (i.e., real) algorithmic analysis (for which you will need higher math, such as calculus and probability).

Nevertheless, it's a good book but I don't know if you should buy it instead of that other, nice and new book using Java 5.0 using generics.

Mr. Drozdek must be creating false accounts and giving himself good reviews; that is the only way to explain this book's high rating. This is without a single doubt the worst text I've ever had to use. If you are a professor or someone looking for self-study, pass this one by! If you are a student taking a class with this as a required text, have a good secondary text handy. D.S. Malik has a decent C++ DS text that I used as my real 'study' text for my DS course. Again, STAY AWAY from this book at all costs!!!!!!!
