Hmm.. "Data Structures in C" is one of the books that USF used for it's
course in data strucutures.. I don't remember if it was good or not but I
can't remember the name of the book I used.. The C++ STL (Standard
Template Library) has some common data structures implemented in it.. so
does the Java 2 SDK.. Just dropping "Data Structures" into google brings
up some books and also some college course web sites..
