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.

Based on the tenet that good habits are formed early, the authors consistently emphasize the principles of structured programming and software engineering. Every complete programme uses a consistent style and as programmes are analyze, styles and standards are further explained.

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.

A Practical Approach to Data Structure and Algorithm with Programming in C discusses about how data structure and algorithm plays out with programming in C. This book comprises topics such as algorithm writing and array. This book sheds light on topics such as searching algorithms, searching algorithms and heap & heap sort in terms of data structure. Readers have also provided insights about basic as well as advanced level information about types of arrays, space complexity of recursive algorithm and primitive operations on array. There is also a discussion about the applications and implementation of the above-mentioned factors in this book.

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 second edition expands upon the solid, practical foundation established in the first edition of the text. Important Notice: Media content referenced within the product description or the product text may not be available in the ebook version.

This practical text contains fairly "traditional" coverage of data structures with a clear and complete use of algorithm analysis, and some emphasis on file processing techniques as relevant to modern programmers. It fully integrates OO programming with these topics, as part of the detailed presentation of OO programming itself.Chapter topics include lists, stacks, and queues; binary and general trees; graphs; file processing and external sorting; searching; indexing; and limits to computation.For programmers who need a good reference on data structures.

Introduction -- Array-based lists -- Linked lists -- Skiplists -- Hash tables -- Binary trees -- Random binary search trees -- Scapegoat trees -- Red-black trees -- Heaps -- Sorting algorithms -- Graphs -- Data structures for integers -- External memory searching.

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.
