Review title: Not for the faint of heart
Product review: I took a data strutures course that used this book. First you have to know C, not C++. You will be dealing with structs not classes. Know your pointers very well. The algorithms are covered are the general ones found in most textbooks dealing with algorithm analysis, but the examples provided are not complete and very vague. You have to rely completely on your instructor to spoon feed you the explanation and if your instructor sucks, then you are out of luck. There are much better textbooks, that take the time to give full explanations of the various interesting data structures out there. God bless and good luck to you if you are using this one for a DS course.
