Data Structures and Algorithms in Java Hardcover – 15 November 2002

My situation:I am a good programer but not so good at my CS concepts. I needed a book which was practical, there was proper implementation( programs ) without any errors in them.This book ticks all my requirements.Well written programs in Java. I have coded them, no errors. Beautiful explanation. The book doesn't mind being a little redundant in favour of ease of use. The way graphs are explained practically, it was very useful.The book focuses on why as well. This is a complete book.After this book, if you want you can dive into advance books, you will have a very strong base because of this.

This book is for absolute beginners......a very good book...but if you have prior knowledge of data structures then don't go for this.

This book is very usefull for new learn of data structures and algorithms. This book make you understand the topics from very basic level...i highly recommend this book for those who are new to data structures and algorithms...and whiling to learn basics of data structure and algorithms.

The book's page and print quality is not the best but it's okay. Everything is explained in detail with figures. Very useful for students and beginners to learn basic concepts of data structure and algorithm.

I was developing applications without having any knowledge on DataStrcutures. I mean I have some knowledge on OOPS and programming, but absolutely zero knowledge on algorithams related to DataStructures. When I started learning DataStrcutures using CLRS I found that with all the mathamatical equations DS is not my cup of tea. Fortunatly I came across Robert Lafore's book and it made my day. After finishing this book I was able to understand the contents in CLRS. Now I can proudly say that I know something about DS. Highly recommended if you are new to DataStructures.

The book gets right down to practical stuff. Typical computer science textbooks are full of theory, complex proofs and heavy mathematical formulas. This book, on the other hand, concentrates on simple explanations of techniques that can be applied to real-world problems.Anyone who needs to take the next step up from merely knowing a language will be happy with this book.

Excellent book for mastering all the fundamental concepts of dsa from its very roots to applying them successfully in coding competitions.

Ultimate book for algorithm... freshers also can choose this book but they have to work little hard.content of this book covers all aspects of algo used through Java. very nice book.
