But it can be considered as an introduction to data structures and algorithms if you aren't a novice in C programming. It is fairly light on maths and analysis of algorithm performance, which may or may not be a bad thing, depending on your requirements. I read the C version of the book, which was quite OK, but i've read much better books since, and the C++ seems to have been added on for market appeal - i feel one should be wary of books which claim to be in ' C and C++ ' ......... make up your mind !! What i'd suggest is, if you're happy with pseudocode that you can adapt to your needs and don't care for a particular language, go for 'Introduction to algorithms' by Cormen,Leiserson & Rivest.
