Data Structures in C Books


Question

Somehow I passed my Introduction to Data Structures class last semester (all in C). Normally I'd be happy, but I didn't learn anything. I'm not saying I knew the material, quiet the opposite. I still don't feel I know any of it.

So can anyone recommend a book that would give me an introduction to data structures in C? The only thing off the top of my head that we went over was Black Trees towards the end of the semester, Link Lists, Double Link Lists, etc... I'd like this book to have examples and problems that I could try out in my own time over the summer.

Thanks,

-Me

So when you say you still don't feel you know any of it, you couldn't program a linked list right now? I never felt my data structures course was hard, on the contrary I found it really easy and fun. Data structures really aren't hard, it's just making it efficient you need to watch out for.

The book was never used and was really bad at explaining everything.

"ABC" (A Book on C) is very good. In fact its recommended by most proffs as the best book on the C language available. It is a bit advanced for some readers but if you want to learn C and have a good reference manual, i think that is the way to go. :D

You could always look in the table of contents and google for relevant material. I find sites like mit's open course ware, or other university sites have all kinds of great stuff.

I've been looking at some interesting sites for the past few days. So far I've found some pretty interesting stuff.
