This second edition of Data Structures Using C has been developed to provide a comprehensive and consistent coverage of both the abstract concepts of data structures as well as the implementation of these concepts using C language. It begins with a thorough overview of the concepts of C programming followed by introduction of different data structures and methods to analyse the complexity of different algorithms. It then connects these concepts and applies them to the study of various data structures such as arrays, strings, linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, heaps, and graphs. The book utilizes a systematic approach wherein the design of each of the data structures is followed by algorithms of different operations that can be performed on them, and the analysis of these algorithms in terms of their running times. Each chapter includes a variety of end-chapter exercises in the form of MCQs with answers, review questions, and programming exercises to help readers test their knowledge.

Using C, this book develops the concepts and theory of data structures and algorithm analysis in a gradual, step-by-step manner, proceeding from concrete examples to abstract principles. Standish covers a wide range of both traditional and contemporary software engineering topics. The text also includes an introduction to object-oriented programming using C++. By introducing recurring themes such as levels of abstraction, recursion, efficiency, representation and trade-offs, the author unifies the material throughout. Mathematical foundations can be incorporated at a variety of depths, allowing the appropriate amount of math for each user.

The data structure is a set of specially organized data elements and functions, which are defined to store, retrieve, remove and search for individual data elements. Data Structures using C: A Practical Approach for Beginners covers all issues related to the amount of storage needed, the amount of time required to process the data, data representation of the primary memory and operations carried out with such data. Data Structures using C: A Practical Approach for Beginners book will help students learn data structure and algorithms in a focused way. Resolves linear and nonlinear data structures in C language using the algorithm, diagrammatically and its time and space complexity analysis Covers interview questions and MCQs on all topics of campus readiness Identifies possible solutions to each problem Includes real-life and computational applications of linear and nonlinear data structures This book is primarily aimed at undergraduates and graduates of computer science and information technology. Students of all engineering disciplines will also find this book useful.

This book starts with the fundamentals of data structures and finally lead to the muchdetailed discussion on the subject. The very first chapter introduces the readers with elementary concepts of C as type conversions, structures, pointers, dynamic memory management, functions, flow-chart, algorithm and fundamental of data structures. This textbook covers the syllabus of Semester College course on data structures. It provides both a strong theoretical base in data structures and an advanced approach to their representation in C. The text is useful to C professionals and programmers, as well as students of any branch of Engineering of graduate and postgraduate courses. The data structures are presented with in the context of complete working programs that have been tested both on a UNIX system and a personal computer using Turbo-C++, Compiler. The code is developed in a top-down fashion, typically with the low-level data structures implementation following the high-level application code. This approach foster good programming habits and makes subject matter more interesting. The book has three goals- to develop a consistent programming methodology, to develop data structures access techniques and to introduce algorithms. The bulk of the text is developed to make a strong hold on data structures. Programming style and development methodology are introduced and its applications are presented. This has the advantage of allowing the reader to concentrate on the data structures, while illustrating how good practices make programming easier.

Implementations, as well as interesting, real-world examples of each data structure and algorithm, are shown in the text. Full source code appears on the accompanying disk.

This book is written in very simple manner and is very easy to understand. It describes the theory with examples step by step. It contains the description of writing these steps in programs in very easy and understandable manner. The book gives full understanding of each therotical topic and easy implementaion in programming. This book will help the students in Self-Learning of Data structures and in understanding how these concepts are implemented in programs. This book is useful for any level of students. It covers the syllabus of B.E. ,B.Tech, DOEACC Society, IGNOU.
