PREFACE
It gives me immense pleasure in presenting the first edition of the book-Principles of
DATA STRUCTURES Using C and C++ which is a unique text valuable for professionals
that covers both theoretical and practical aspects of the data structures.
The study of data structures is an essential subject of every under graduate and
graduate programs related to computer science. A thorough understanding of the basics
of this subject is inevitable for efficient programming. This book covers all the fundamen-
tal topics to give a better understanding about the subject. This book is written in accord-
ance with the revised syllabus for BTech/BE (both Computer Science and Electronics
branches) and MCA students of Kerala University, MG University, Calicut University, CUSAT
Cochin (deemed) University, NIT Calicut (deemed) University, Anna University, UP Techni-
cal University, Amritha Viswa (deemed) Vidyapeeth, Karunya (deemed) University, Pune
University, Bangalore University and Rajasthan Vidyapeeth (deemed) University. Moreo-
ver this book covers almost all the topics of the other Indian and International Universities
where this subject is there in their under graduate and graduate programs.
While writing the book, I have always considered the examination requirements of
the students and various difficulties and troubles, which they face, while studying the
subject.
All effort is made to cover the topics in the simplest possible way without loosing its
qualities. Almost five hundred questions from various university question papers have
been included in this book. In short, I earnestly hope that the book will earn the apprecia-
tion of the teachers and students alike.
Although I have tried to check mistakes and misprints, yet it is difficult to claim
perfection. Any suggestions for the improvement of any topics, when brought to my notice,
will be thankfully acknowledged and will be incorporated in the next edition.
