Data Structures and Algorithms in C++

by Adam Drozdek

Drozdek provides a broad-based and case-driven study of data structures and their associated algorithms using C++ as the implementation language. The book places special emphasis on the connection between data structures and algorithms, including analysis of algorithm complexity. Drozdek presents data structures in the context of object-oriented program design, stressing the principle of information hiding in his treatment of encapsulation and decomposition. Drozdek also provides a close examination of data structure implementation, and its impact on the selection of programming languages..

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.
