Hi all, I'm a fairly novice C programmer and I'm looking for a fairly simple book that can help me with explaining Doubly Linked Lists in C. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions anyone would have. Thanks in advance. /No fancy sig as of yet | Robert Gottlieb aka robert@analytics.com / /But look in this space | #include <stdisclaimer> / /For future fancy sig | "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me..

It will give the stuff in Pascal, and then that's easily convertible to C after a shot at K&R. Besides, you will learn more of C by writing it from the Pascal rather than directly taking it from a book that explains data structures in C. -- Pankaj Narayan narayan@atanasoff.cs.iastate.edu 246 North Hyland Ave, Apt. 306 ,Ames, IA 50010 Ph: (515) 292-5535

A very good book for you would be: Introduction to Data Structures Using C by: Singh & Naps Someone else posted a book that was in Pascal, but I advise against this. Formal learning studies of Natural (English, Francais, et al) language learning have pointed out the best way to learn is to immerse yourself in the language you are studying and not translate to your native tongue (Pascal for some out there). The above authors originally wrote the above book in kind of a generic Pascalish pseudo code (ISBN 0-314-85299-9), then split it into two books, one using C, and the other using Pascal. I would like to give the ISBN for the book, but unfortunately, I only have the older generic version in my posession. Usually (but not always), double linked lists have storage malloc'ed (or alloc'ed or calloc'ed) from the heap to store them in. When finished with certain portions you free them from the list. If you need any more help, fire off a line to me and I will see what I can do. sig??? ON VMS??????? NAH!!!!!!!

Hi every one, I thought that I would tap into all this knowladge. My questions is this. Q. I have been programing in C for about a year in my own spare time without any one saying to me learn c or any one helping me that much, but I realy like the language I have bought some books on the subject "Data Structures Using C" being one of them and I know that the book just mentioned contains enough for me to learn doubly linked lists I also know that if I had the time to sit down and spend some proper time doing it that id be able to do it my self(ive tried this though, but I dont have enough tim e), so my question(finaly) is this could some kind soul mail me and help me out it wont take me long just about three e-mails if that. Thanks any one! P.S. I realy need and would appreciate this as im working on a program and doubly linked lists are its heart!

Please consult with your university's English Dept. before continuing you project. P.S. Most paragraphs of this length usually contain more than one sentence. -- Lance Bledsoe Off: (512) 343-1111 Pencom Software, Inc. Fax (512) 343-9650 8716 Loop 360 N.

Most paragraphs of this length usually contain more than one sentence. Yeah, and most people don't post empty articles to USENET like you did. I consider it to be in *very* bad taste to criticize language skills. If you must do it, though, at least don't make stupid mistakes like "you[r] project."
