Hi,
Can anyone recommend a good book or books on data structures? I couldn't
find an obvious news group to post in, but given Ada and Ada people have a
software-engineering approach lacking in many other communities I figured
to ask here.
I understand and have implemented things like stacks, queues, and
linked-lists in various projects. I never learned about data structures
such as trees, and I'm sure there are many more I don't know about. I'm not
interested in theory for the sake of theory, since I'm a practising
software designer. What I am interested in is having the right kit of tools
so I can apply the correct solution to the job. So I need good, practical
sources rather than mathematical. I'm concerned about things such as
clarity and performance in the code I write.
I prefer to stay away from books choosing this or that programming language
as the lexicon, although books in Ada would be acceptable because of Ada's
clarity. Thanks for any and all suggestions.
Cheers.
