Data Structures and Algorithms in C++

by Adam Drozdek

Using the C++ programming language, author Adam Drozdek highlights three important aspects of data structures and algorithms. First, the book places special emphasis on the connection between data structures and their algorithms, including an analysis of the algorithms' complexity. Second, the book presents data structures in the context of object-oriented program design, stressing the principle of information hiding in its treatment of encapsulation and decomposition. Finally, the book closely examines data structure implementation. Overall, this practical and theoretical book prepares students with a solid foundation in data structures for future courses and work in design implementation, testing, or maintenance of virtually any software system.Important Media content referenced within the product description or the product text may not be available in the ebook version.

Not great. Explanations ranged from decent to perplexing, but definitely skewed more towards the perplexing side.

Not the best book on the topic, I picked it as a language-specific book on the topic but it turns out to be not so good, It's heavily using the C conventions and not making so much use of the C++ facilities.

A very big meh.

This is your foundation for Data Structures in C++ (and probably other similar languages.

I liked how detailed each section is.
+ How the books explains with examples of each algorithm.

I didn't like how the book sometimes goes into deep details (math) without much of explanation.
- also some of the algorithms do not have actual code (only pseudo code).

Generally, this is one of the best books to be read before a technical interview or for computer science majored students who like to go deeper in data structures and algorithms.
