本书通过C程序的实现，着重阐述了抽象数据类型的概念，并对算法的效率、性能和运行时间进行了分析。讨论了算法设计技巧，当前流行的论题和新的数据结构，以及高级数据结构及其实现。In this second edition of his best-selling book, Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis in C, Mark Allen Weiss, continues to refine and enhance his innovative approach to algorithms and data structures. Using a C implementation, he highlights conceptual topics, focusing on ADTs and the analysis of algorithms for efficiency as well as performance and running time. Dr. Weiss also distinguishes Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis in C with the extensive use of figures and examples showing the successive stages of an algorithm, his engaging writing style, and a logical organization of topics. Features Includes a chapter on algorithm and design techniques that covers greedy algorithms, divide and conquer algorithms, dynamic programming, randomized algorithms, and backtracking Presents current topics and newer data structures such as Fibonacci heaps, skew heaps, binomial queues, skip lists, and splay trees Contains a chapter on amortized analysis that examines the advanced data structures presented earlier in the book Provides a new chapter on advanced data structures and their implementation covering red black trees, top down splay trees, treaps, k-d trees, pairing heaps, and more Incorporates new results on the average case analysis of heapsort Offers source code from example programs via anonymous FTP 0201498405B04062001
