Data Structures and Algorithms in Java

THIS is the book to get. It's like the bible of computer science data structures. I bought it for my sophomore level undergraduate course and a book has never been so impactful as this one was. My teacher was awful and this book is the reason why I passed that class, and actually understand basic data structures to this day. The way each chapter explicitly describes every/any data structure you could probably think of is so helpful. Not to mention visuals are included - I never understand why other books don't include data structure visuals. Nice that some algorithms are included as well. THANK YOU

The book is great, definitely helps you understand things really fast, I just hate computer science. If you need it for Data Structures and Algorithms, it's great; if it's not required, get it.

Perhaps it is my bias as a Developer with several years of experience already in the industry, but I found this book more accessible than Introduction to Algorithms for my undergrad. It uses Code to explain and illuminate Algorithms which given my experience is a lot more revealing than Pseudocode and a lot more digestible. I learned a lot more in just examining a few pages than my experiences with that book. The mathematics of the book is accessible, not overly esoteric where beginner Computer Scientists might find issue.

Good quality and looks very new. Some notes taken on side but it does not matter to me

This book is so clear and well written. It helped me with all of my data structures projects and the Java code examples are very useful.

I love this textbook. One of the best-written, best-organized presentations of Java programming. One to read word-by-word, but you will want to have spent some time in the mastery of Java and basic aspects of OOP. I started reading it on my PC, then read it last night on my Kindle, confirmed my intended presentation on my laptop at school this morning, but when I attempted to download it to the podium PC in my classroom, I was informed that I had exceeded a limit as to the number of devices. I would have to purchase ANOTHER copy to use it in class and then somehow keep track of which book instance was on which device. I understand that the authors have no control over this restriction.

Clear book with great examples and teachings. I personally found this book very helpful, would recommend.

Learned all the best data structures and algorithms, currently re-reading, definitely suggest for any and all computer related fields.

Honesty this may be my favourite textbook in my Applied Computer Science degree. It goes step by step showing all of the code and builds on the basic principles of linked lists and arrays. It’s comprehensive, all the code is there, and the concepts are just really interesting.

The best book ever that I bought. It show you step by step with example all data structure that a programmer need

In my opinion for someone just starting to learn DSA this book is a really good good start. If you don't care about the paper quality though, sometimes this is distracting and annoying. So 3 starts because of the low quality of the book, but the content is still 5 stars.

If I’m stuck on a problem in class, it does an awesome job of explaining complex concepts in an easy to understand way

Have read the first two chapters so far. The explanations are clear, the sample applications are non-trivial and the code is the cleanest I have ever seen. Will update this review once I get a chance to read more. Note: There are quite a few typos in the beginning chapters, but don't let that turn you away from the book. So far, the time that I have invested in the book has not been a waste.
