[comp.lang.c] Data Structures Book?

mun@hpcc01.HP.COM (Duane T. Mun) (10/02/90)

I'm looking for a data structures book covering the typical stuff (lists,
trees, stacks, queues, sorting, searching, ...).  I would prefer one using
examples in C.

Any recommendations?

Thanks

There are many "gods" out there who have written books on data structures and
the like. A good one is "Data Structures in C", by Robert Sedgewick. (But then
Sedgewick is a faculty member at Princeton and I just might be plugging him 
because of that :-) Seriously, though, its a good book ). I think that there 
HAS to be one written by Tennenbaum, because he has written so many other books
on the topic. If yo go for classical, you might want to check out Wirth or 
Knuth. Data structures are fun at times...

Agreed.  Another good one is `Data Structures and C Programs'
by Chris Van Wyk.  Both books are published by Addison-Wesley.

	I would recommend:

		_Reusable_Data_Structures_for_C by Roger Sessions
			Prentice-Hall, 1989

                          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Is this title correct?  I haven't seen this.  I think he has a book titled
"Algorithms in C".

Thats ok.

There is.

No, too much (I don't mean money).

>Data structures are fun at times...

Hmmm...

Are you (or anyone else reading this) familiar with the following authors
or titles:

  Data Structures: An Advanced Approach Using C
    Esakov/Weiss, Prentice Hall, 0-13-198847-6

  Data Structures Using C
    Tenenbaum/Langsam/Augenstein, Prentice Hall, 0-13-199746-7

  Data Structures and C Programs
    Van Wyk, Addison-Wesley, 0-201-16116-8

Thanks for your help

hmm, that's a thought.  New standard interview question: 

"Are you into Classical DS?  What do you think NewAge or JazzFusion DS?"
