wow, what a horrible book!,
By code monkey (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Data Structures, Algorithms, and Applications in C++ (Hardcover)
I'm actually amazed by the absolute mediocrity of this book. After having read a few books on *good* style (try Stroustroup, Effective C++ by Meyers), the code in here is crap by comparison. In addition (at least in the 1998 edition), there are all sorts of programming blunders - case in point: on pg 140/program3.20 there is a function to search for data in a circular list which ends up putting the data in the head-node for the list and leaves it there. Thankfully this garbage piece of code won't compile due to typos! Did anyone bother proof-reading this book? How did the author get a PhD? Only buy this book if you already know C++ and want a good laugh.

Comprehensive texts for Advanced undergraduates,
By Nirvana Boy (MA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Data Structures, Algorithms, and Applications in C++ (Hardcover)
The book Sahni wrote with Horowitz was, and remains, a classic for anyone who wants to grapple with DS. Even the original text was never intended for starters and this book more or less carries on the same tradition (although a little more verbosely).The beauty of the original Horowitz and Sahni text was not the (terse) text, but the amazing exercises. The new one by Sahni also has some very challenging exercises suitable for advanced undergraduates. Students NEW to the subject are better of with simpler texts(I read the one by Kruse in my day, but there are PLENTY of new ones around) but students with more than one year of programming experince will find this book more challenging and satisfying. As for graduate students - Knuth awaits you with open arms. :-)

Don't buy this book!!,
By Vamsee (Hyderabad, India) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Data Structures, Algorithms, and Applications in C++ (Hardcover)
I'm a CS student from India, and I'd like to warn you not to buy this book. This is a 'recommended' book in our syllabus, but till now I can't understand why. The programs do their best to confuse you, and still can't get the picture after hours of stepping through the code. I don't know how Mr.Sahni intended students to understand this utterly foxing book. Stay away from this.
