I had the luxury of having Dr. Weiss at Florida International University. He was a great professor and as a result I bought this book expecting a great book. The book turned out to be better than expected.

If you hate math and cannot program in C++, then this is not the book for you. However, if you desire to learn data structures effectively then you have found the book you have been looking for.

I thought that this book did its job in explaining the data structures under consideration effectively, but I did not like the author's coding style, and this is nothing more than taste. The book's goal is the teaching of data structures and it did this. Overall, though, this book is a good reference.

I use this book for my Data Structures & Algorithms class as a sophomore Computer Science major.

This book is a tad bit on the advanced side, but the explanations and examples are great all the way through. There's a certain level of knowledge that is expected and it doesn't let up. I'm not too keen on how good the practice problems are, but the few that i've done require a high level of concentration. Before reading, make sure you're up on proofs (read: proofs EVERYWHERE).

I do think it'd be a good addition to any programmer's collection.

This is a great book on data structures. It covers both basic and more advanced data structures.

Doesn't have enough examples. The questions are hard. Also there is no answers in the back or even on the Mark Allen Weiss web page either.
