Data Structures through C in Depth: Learn fundamentals with 500+ code samples and problems - 3rd Edition

Data Structures and Algorithms is an important subject in any university curriculum for the computer science stream. It provides a great tool in the hands of software engineers and plays a significant role in software design and development. It is also becoming a must-have skill for many competitions and job interviews in the software industry.

This book covers the topics useful for students and also for software developers working in the industry. The concepts are explained in a step-wise manner and illustrated with numerous figures, text, examples, and immediate code samples, which help in better understanding of data structures and algorithms with their implementation. There are exercises at the end of the chapters which help students to explore more and build a better foundation of the subject. The book has more than 500 illustrations, code samples, and problems. Solutions for exercises are also available with programs. Students can use it for self-learning, and developers can use this for providing efficient solutions for their day-to-day development problems.

After completion of this book, students will have a good understanding of Data Structures and Algorithms concepts and implementation. Software engineers will be able to provide better solutions with appropriate data structures and efficient algorithms.
