what text book are you using?

The book that I used for my Data Structures & Algorithms class this past quarter was Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis in C - Second Edition by Mark Allen Weiss. I thought it was a fairly good book. The style of the book is fairly dry--as with most textbooks--but I felt the information presented in it is very good. It deals more with theory and analysis of each data structure versus how to code it. Pros and cons of multiple implementations for a particular structure are discussed, and there's a lot of run-time analysis of common functions for most of the structures. Printed code in the book is in C, but C++ implementations of most of the C code is available from the author's website. A C++ version of this book is also available.

Ameesh - that's the book I'm using now...as someone stated previously, it's pretty dry (what I've read 😉). I really need to read more, but it's very uninspiring...then again, I don't read anything else either :frown:. I wonder why I don't read much, I know I should and I know it would do me good, but I just can't. I know someone who reads all the time and can't understand it...somewhere along the way I developed a dislike for reading...(I am a fine reader, no disability there 😉)
