I am a lecturer at one of the rural Engineering college in Karnataka. I generally do not come online and spend much time. After reading the book, I thought it would be good if I share my comments about this.

Generally students are scared of design of algorithms and its analysis and this is due to the fact that students are not able to understand foreign books. There is a difference in understanding level of students and those books.

This book bridges thatgap. I must say it is so easy for st...

Most of the stuff in this book, usually also more updated, is of course available on the web. This book also *explains* the tricks very clearly. That's why it rocks. Author doesn't talk to you like a professor, but like a good friend. He explains stuff, often in plain English, the way we all do when we really want someone to understand what we mean.

He uses some math too, but only when really appropriate. If you find delight in the optimization of code--and you SHOULD--this is the book for y...

One thing I liked about this book that after a problem is served, it tries to attempt to solve that in basic way and after analyzing it's performance then keeps on improvising the algorithm by providing better solution.
Hence it first captures the attention of a newbie or in it's simplest form and then takes the journey to more optimized solution which is also necessary to learn for how to approach and develop better solution.

This is my first review...
After reading this book, I felt I should definitely write a review for this book so that others can benefit from this....

This is till date the best among the books I have used for Data Structures and algorithms...This book follows a very good approach on how to write algorithms...Also it can be very easily understood....So preparing for interviews becomes very easy as u dont have to search in the net to prepare for different kinds of problems , thus saving a lot o...

So you got yourself an interview. Congratulations! I was all over the place about which textbooks of my undergrad years I should study but then I came across this book which helped me narrow down my studying area by far. It prepares you for some fundamental C stuff like pointers and also for common algorithms and tricky ones that you have to think for yourself.

It also makes you think smartly when trying to figure out some puzzle that occasionally appear in interviews. Overall it was reall...

It was great to tell that when I start as a beginner compelete fresh it's give you little bit difficulty but but here's the magic of this book that it clears everything in a decent manner.
There's no doubt of not purchasing.
YOU You must purchase and chak de phaate nab de gillii hurray!!!

Definitely Worth the Money, If u r a beginner or an intermediate Programmer, this Book would be a great book for u.
All Concepts are been made understood using simple life examples which u can relate with.
So if we're going to buy it and just checking the reviews, Go for it!!

I've studied this book for preparation to my amazon interview and It helped me a lot. Not just for the "same questions in the interview" factor, but repeatedly going through all the complex problems in the book and trying to understand the solutions give there helped me get my basics crystal clear and also, I got into amazon. I owe a lot to this book. Though, many questions are directly adopted directly from different interview preparation websites, I reduced my effort to a great extend when ...

I am a B-Tech final year computer science student appeared for 2012 GATE exam. Earlier, I took coaching for GATE at one of the institute (Made Easy) in Delhi. One of my senior referred this book for me and it helped me a lot. This book played important role in securing 180th all India rank for me.

I recommend this book for all computer science students (particularly rural engg. college students who may not have chance to take coaching) to have a look and use this as primary source for prepar...

Excellent book, good for data structure and programming. delivered on time, packaging is also good. no damage to book, thank you Flipkart.
