Any good books or websites for Datastructures in C++? !C;

Hello everyone!
I've been trying to grasp simple linked lists and queues conepts for the longest time! I don't even know if i spelled that 'queues' right, anyways....
The book i've been trying to comprehend is, Classic Datastructures in C++ by Tim. Budd, He seems to know what he's talking about but the only problem with him, he always uses Templates in his examples, and that just confuses the matter, I know in the long run i'll need to incorperate templates but right now I just want to learn the basics. I also need the book to show the examples in C++, by using Classes insteed of structs. I must be picky or just slow on learning

Thanks for listening

Classes and structs can easily be put into templates.

Using templates is the way that I'd have preferred to go about it, since most of the concepts are usually independent of the actual data type.

Hi,
My favorite book that has catapulted me from very basic C++ to STL is "The C++ Standard Library - A Tutorial and Reference" by Nicolai M. Josuttis (ISBN 0-201-37926-0).

I can pick it up each time (over 700 pages) and find something interesting that I have not learned yet. The examples are plentiful and commented. I do have Stroustrups "The C++ Programming Language" but like your reference, he inundates the reader with templates....and very few examples.

Nothing wrong with templates...just us newbies need to be exposed to something a little more concrete like the examples and explanations in my favorite book. :-) I figure in a couple of years I'll be able to pick up Stroustrup's book and comprehend 'most' of what he's saying.

Incidently, searching this forum and posting questions really got me started into STL...thanks guys... 'Parksie, Zaei, Corned Bee...and the others',


Regards,
ChuckB

Basic Understanding of C++ language, there is a book for it:

Data Structure and Algorithm in C++, the following is a good reference book:
