Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis in C++ Hardcover – Illustrated, 28 June 2013

Most of the reviews here are students complaining that they got assigned this book for class : "I used to be an A student until I took my C++ course, therefore the book is to blame for my shortcomings." Totally unfair!If you read the front matter for this book, Weiss clearly states that this book is *NOT* meant as an undergraduate textbook; this book is meant for graduate students or advanced programmers. If your instructor is using this book for an introductory C++ textbook, that's between you and your instructor. Don't blame the author!This is one of the few books available that uses Modern C++ to cover C++ data structures. Yes, it's difficult to work through the examples. But, for the advanced programmer, this is what you want. The code is terse, but very elegant.I like how the book shows the internals of STL classes like std::vector, std::list, and others. Now, when I use the STL classes, I can know for sure how they work internally.

Had to use this for a Data Structures course. The information is solid, but it felt like the author wants everything to be difficult for you.I'll be hanging onto this one for reference and practice problems.. sadly there is no answer key in the book, though.Wouldn't recommend unless you have to use it for school. If you do have to use this, you will suffer but you will learn.

I had to get it for college and it was great with the question at the end of each chapter to help me revise.

Very good book on Data Structures. Chapter 1 has a good review for those from other fields. Having taken a programming course or two before is definitely all you need.

This is definitely a computer math book. It's not good for explaining data structures for real world applications but it's very good at explaining various number techniques. I do wish that the examples were more complete though.
