Any good suggestion? I already have Mark Weiss's Datastructure and Algorithm Analysis in C++ 2nd Edition. This book is just too theory oriented. I need a book that is easy to understand and teaches algorithms with practical approach. Also lots practice problems and answer key would be a plus.
Is the book Thinking In C++ any good? I already read Dietel's C++ How To Program 2nd Edition. I need a book that helps me think like a object oriented programmer instead of the structure programmer which I am right now. Is the book titled C++ Faq any good? From reading the synopsis of C++ Faq on Amazon.com, it seems to be a good programming debugging helper.

Thanks in advance.

What I used when I was doing my Data Structures class was "Data Structures, Algorithms and Applications in C++" by Sahni, published by McGraw Hill. It was a pretty nice book with lots of examples.
