Chossing the right algorithm and associated data structures lies at the heart of computer programming. Providing one of the most accurate sources for comparing the performance of different algorithms, the new edition of the Handbook of Algorithms and Data Structures In Pascal and C has now been brought up to date with recent results. All the algorithms within the book are coded in Pascal and C.

Highlights of the book include:

a new chapter on text manipulation algoritthms
increased coverage of searching algorithms
more consistent coding of algorithms in Pascal and C
expanded bibliography, including a full set of references

This book is an indispensable guide and reference for all computer science students, researchers and professional programers alike. It assumes some knowledge of programming in a high-level language and some familiarity with data structures.

Gaston Gonnet formely of the University of Waterloo, Ontario, is a Professor in the Informatik Department at ETH in Zurich. Ricardo Baeza-Yates is an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Chile in Santiago.
