 Excellent text, but very terse code examples, 1999-11-09
This book is very good indeed as far as the text goes, but why not put some more effort into making the code more readable? I would have found the book much more useful if I could have dipped into the code examples for inspiration without having to decipher them first.
Excellent Book, 1999-06-28
This book is very good for someone who is either new to the field or fairly experienced. Sedgewick combines a detailed approach with easy to understand explanations. One problem is that some of the code samples can get kind of ugly since Sedgewick attempts to fit them into small boxes. Other than that the book gets a definite recommend from me.
one of few books to include geometric algorithms, 1999-07-29
I teach a course on computer-aided geometric design which includes some data structures and I appreciate Prof. Sedgewick's inclusion of geometric algorithms. It comes in handy at the end of the course.I do have two suggestions: As others have said, please include some problem solutions. And, number two, please include somewhere (as most modern authors do) a link to some teaching aids. They may be working programs, powerpoint presentations and other items. With this addition, it would be a much better text and much easier to sell to potential adopting institutions.
A very good and explaining book for begginers on algorithms, 1999-07-08
When I bought this book I didn't know anything about algorithms. This book helped me to learn developing various types of algorithms. The bad stuff is that part 5-8 is not published yet. This book is analytical and methodical so anyone can learn programming algorithms. I like it very much.
A classic in the making, 2002-06-04
Ok, so maybe some of the code examples aren't perfect but then I hardly ever use C++ and didn't buy the book to copy the code. I wanted to understand the algorithms and couldn't have bought a better book for the purpose. This is the book I turn to when I have coding problems - no matter what language I happen to be using at the time. Having said this, I should also point out that a knowledge of elementary C++ programming is a pre-requisite.
