Data Structures Through C (With CD-ROM) is a reference book on the subject of Data Structures. Summary Of The Book Data Structures Through C (With CD-ROM), written by Yashavant Kanetkar, is a guidebook that seeks to explain the fundamentals of data structures, a concept related to computer programming. It takes an innovative approach to the subject by using a concrete language like C to explain concepts, instead of merely relying on algorithms as many other books on the subject often do. The book explores concepts like algorithm analysis, arrays, strings, linked lists, queues, stacks, sparse matrices, searching and sorting, graphs, and trees. In fact, readers can actually experience procedures like the construction of a binary tree, traversing of a doubly linked list, and sorting of an array through the carefully designed animations presented on the CD-ROM accompanying the book. The concepts are presented in a lucid manner. Numerous examples and programs are also included to help readers get a better understanding of the complex operations performed on data structures. The book was published in 2010 by BPB Publication. It has received positive reviews for its unique approach to data structures as well as the author’s style of presenting complex concepts simply and clearly.
