Customer Reviews

It has a good professional approach,

This book is great for programmers familiar with the C++ code. There is no need to know anything fancy to start this book, but it isn't a book you would start if your completely new to programming.

Suprisingly Good Text.

After reading the poor reviews I felt bad having to buy this book for a university level data structures course. However, after using this book for a short time I really grew to like it. It is an excellent introduction to classes and OOP in addition to data structures. It picks up right around where most introductory C++ texts leave off. I found the authors explanations to be very clear and the examples to be very relavant to the topics in each chapter. The author seems to build on topics chapter after chapter so it is hard to forget what has already been learned. This is one of the few text books that I am going to keep for future reference.

Very good

Hi, I have read many books in c, c++, and java and none does a better job explaining trees traversals better than this except another book written by Dr Main himself called "data structure and other objects using java". I recommand this book as reference to everyone.

Enjoyed the book even in at community college class level.

An excellent text for a pre-Computer Science II class. The book was clear, concise, easy to understand for me, and the exercises really helped to emphasize the major points of each chapter. Most importantly, it is the most error free text I have ever had the pleasure of working with.

What are these people talking about!

Ok, maybe it only deserves 4 stars, but I have to counterballance some of the computer snobs below -at first I thought this was a mediocre text. Then I got into my *next* course in Data Structures (using Mark Weiss' text) and kept referring to this "doesn't assume you're a PhD already" text as a reference. I work full time and go to school at night, I don't have time to learn perfect coding habbits - I just want to get throgh the classes in one piece, and this book was a great help!
