- I previously posted a question (below). For anyone interested,
- here are the responses I received (edited).
-
- In comp.lang.c you write:
-
- >I'm looking for a good book of algorithms with C code- sorting,
- >graph algorithms, etc... Can anyone recommend one? I'm not looking
- >for an instructional book, but more of a "handbook."

-
- The Art of Computer Programming, Vol 3 (Searching and Sorting).
- Donald Knuth, Addison Wesley.
-
- Adam G.
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Turbo Algorithms by Weiskamp, et.al. published by Wiley (1989). All the sorts,
- tree traversals, etc,etc Working code in C, Pascal, Basic, and Prolog.

-
- How about the books by Robert Sedgewick,
- Algorithms, Algorithms in C, and Algorithms in C++. And of course, there
- is always Knuth's series.

-
- The only book (there may be more) that I know that deals with algorithms
- using C is called "Algorithms in C" by Robert Sedgewick published by
- Addison Wesley. This book can function both as an instructional book and a
- handbook as there is quite a complete coverage on the most popular
- algorithms used today.

-
- "Algorithms in C" by Sedgewick is an excellent book for about $50. He
- also has one for Pascal and probably others.

-
- i like 'algorithms in c' by sedgwick. there was a pascal version and i think
- there is a new version based on c++

-
- I like the "Numerical Recipes" text. The one I use is based on Fortran,
- but I understand there is a C version.
-
- But apart from sorting, it covers ONLY numerical algorithms. I like Sedgewick's
- book (some people hate it however - browse before buying).

-
- I checked the Lib.of Cong at dra.com and Sedgewick has two editions of
- 'Algorithms' (for Pascal), 'Algorithms in C', 'Algorithms in C++', and
- and 'Algorithms in Ada.' If anybody cares...
-
- Thanks for all the suggestions,
-
