- Sidgewick's Algorithms In C is a classic and a must-have. I'd rate it
- the #1 book geared towards C. (Other books like Introduction To
- Algorithms cover more, but are written in incomprehensible pseudocode.)
- I regularly swipe code from this book.
-
- The New C Primer Plus and C: The Complete Reference touch on data
- structures, but don't go very far. They do most of the basics.
- These are easy to understand, but lack the rigor of A In C.
-
- Data Structures, Algorithms, and Software Principles In C is another
- good textbook-like book.
