Most books on data structures are based on Pascal. With increased use of C, however, advanced programming techniques including dynamic data structures are found to be more practical and efficient in this language. By using the C language throughout, the author is able to discuss and demonstrate random file access in sorting programs and in programs that manipulate B-trees. The book focusses on useful applications such as storing and retrieving large amounts of data efficiently, and the critical-path method in project planning.

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.

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.

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.

This well-organized book, now in its second edition, discusses the fundamentals of various data structures using C as the programming language. Beginning with the basics of C, the discussion moves on to describe Pointers, Arrays, Linked lists, Stacks, Queues, Trees, Heaps, Graphs, Files, Hashing, and so on that form the base of data structure. It builds up the concept of Pointers in a lucid manner with suitable examples, which forms the crux of Data Structures. Besides updated text and additional multiple choice questions, the new edition deals with various classical problems such as 8-queens problem, towers of Hanoi, minesweeper, lift problem, tic-tac-toe and Knapsack problem, which will help students understand how the real-life problems can be solved by using data structures. The book exhaustively covers all important topics prescribed in the syllabi of Indian universities/institutes, including all the Technical Universities and NITs. Primarily intended as a text for the undergraduate students of Engineering (Computer Science/Information Technology) and postgraduate students of Computer Application (MCA) and Computer Science (M.Sc.), the book will also be of immense use to professionals engaged in the field of computer science and information technology. Key Features • Provides more than 160 complete programs for better understanding. • Includes over 470 MCQs to cater to the syllabus needs of GATE and other competitive exams. • Contains over 500 figures to explain various algorithms and concepts. • Contains solved examples and programs for practice. • Provides companion CD containing additional programs for students’ use.

Learn the fundamentals of Data Structures through C++ DESCRIPTION There are two major hurdles faced by anybody trying to learn Data Structures : Most books attempt to teach it using algorithms rather than complete working programs. A lot is left to the imagination of the reader, instead of explaining it in detail. This is a different Data Structures book. It uses C++ language to teach Data Structures. Secondly, it goes far beyond merely explaining how Stacks, Queues and Linked Lists work. The readers can actually experience (rather than imagine) sorting of an array, traversing of a doubly-linked list, construction of a binary tree, etc. through carefully crafted animations that depict these processes. All these animations are available on the Downloadable DVD. In addition, it contains numerous carefully-crafted figures, working programs and real-world scenarios where different data structures are used. This would help you understand the complicated operations being performed on different data structures easily. Add to that the customary lucid style of Yashavant Kanetkar and you have a perfect Data Structures book in your hands.
