All Indian Reprints of Franklin, Beedle & Associates Inc are Printed in Grayscale. This textbook is designed to serve as a text for a first course on data structures and algorithms, typically taught as the second course in the computer science curriculum. Even though the second course is considered more advanced than the first course, this book assumes you are beginners at this level. You may still be struggling with some of the basic ideas and skills from a first computer science course and yet be ready to further explore the discipline and continue to practice problem solving.Computer science is like any other difficult subject matter, where you become successful through deliberate, step-by-step exposure to the fundamental ideas. A beginning computer scientist needs practice to gain thorough understanding before advancing to more complex parts of the curriculum. A beginner also needs opportunities to be successful and gain confidence. This book achieves these goals by exposing new concepts incrementally while building on previously covered topics. Furthermore, we use the Python programming language, as we believe that provides the perfect setting for exploring these ideas.
