Algorithms in C is a comprehensive repository of algorithms, complete with code. If you're in a pinch and need to code something up fast, this book is the place to look. Starting with basic data structures, Algorithms in C covers an enormous scope of information, with extensive treatment of searching and advanced data structures, sorting, string processing, computational geometry, graph problems, and mathematical algorithms. Although the manual often neglects to provide rigorous analysis, the text surrounding the algorithms provides clear and relevant insight into why the algorithms work.
Review:
Plain average!
This is an okay book. The algorithms are described in great detail (actually sometimes too much detail), moreover it is not very mathematical. For this reason it could be the choice for the readers fed up of the math in other algorithms books e.g., Cormen et al's.
However the biggest complain I have with this book is that it is overloaded with too much contents. When things could have been described in a few lines, dozens of paragraphes have been used for it. The reader just losts in the text. And interestingly the job is still not done, i.e., the reader is still not able to follow the
