About the Book
Mark Allen Weiss' successful book
provides a modern approach to algorithms and data structures using the
C programming language. The book's conceptual presentation focuses on ADTs
and the analysis of algorithms for efficiency, with a particular concentration
on performance and running time. The second edition contains a new chapter
that examines advanced data structures such as red black trees, top down
splay trees, treaps, k-d trees, and pairing heaps among others. All code
examples now conform to ANSI C and coverage of the formal proofs underpinning
several key data structures has been strengthened.
