If you are a computer science student or advance programmer, you should get this book. The diagrams and descriptions in the book give you insights of the advance programming which would help you. However you may get confused because the examples in the book is using the programming language Eiffel. You would like this book if and only if you like hard coding.

As a graduate student and a teacher’s assistant to the Data Structures course at U of Iowa, I found this book to be a terrible choice, it has incomplete and very breif examples that just leave the students confused…and for future note, the following semester the text was changed…

This is a very frustrating book. The writing is horrible, there are no sample exercises in the book so when you go to do an assignment from the exercises, there is no example of how to approach the problem. There is a “hint database” on their online website that gives you one line of how to approach a problem, but even that is hit or miss and can make things even more confusing. In short, I didn’t learn any more about data structures than I didn’t already know from my previous courses.
If you are looking for a book that explains things in a much better format, look for the Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis in C++ by Weiss. It explains things so much better.
Don’t waste your money on this, and if you have to buy it for a class, definitely buy used. I’m selling mine back to the school bookstore!!
Review by Ali Civril for Data Structures and Algorithms in C++

This is one of the dozens of Data Structures and Algorithms books in the market and till now the worst I’ve ever seen. I have taken two DSA courses in my undergrad years, and now as a grad, I’m TAing that course.
The theoretical treatment of the book is superficial and too childish. Yet, there’s too little practical value. They discuss the unnecessary linked list implementations of trees which is quite confusing for students. I am also amazed that they do not mention finding or removing an element in a BST. And, more importantly there’s too little discussion of graphs.
I don’t understand those professors trying to bog down students with useless details and complicated C++ codes. Rather, they should give the intuition and the theory behind the data structures and algorithms. Weiss’ book is much better than this one. But, even that is obsessed with doing tricky things with C++.
Anyway, to sum up: This book is a garbage. Stay away unless it’s required for the course you’re taking in case you may need to do homeworks and such.

Good concept but you can’t get enough. It is very difficult to follow as the authors provides Code fragments. I don’t think this is suitable for self-study.

I used this book to supplement to my coursebook that was required for my Data Structure class.
Pros:
I used this book more than my coursebook.
There are a lot of advanced topics for you to study.
The book starts with a very good introduction to C++ Language and moves on explaining objects, classes , inheritance and polymorphism in one chapter which is really good.
chapter 3 on Analysis book is very well written and clearly explain Big -O very clearly , in fact it has one of the best explanation compared to any other Data Structure book in the market.
The rest of the book is well organized with all important Data Structures.
This book has excellent explanation and has deep explanation on various subject which you will not find in any other Data Structure book.
cons:
The codes are not easy to read and understand if you have no experience in Data Structures.
I found many examples in the book very complicated.
The codes are not explained in a step by step fashion.
clearly not the best book for beginners in DS.
Overall i highly recommend this book for students who enjoy programming and want to learn more than what is discussed in the class.
Also it is a great book to increase your knowledge on Data Structures.
