Title: ... poor examples
Review: This is my second time taking this class. The only reason, and I do mean the only reason why I have to retake this class is because many of the examples in the book are confusing. It just dawned on me today when I couldn't understand the Shell sort on page 256 - this is a simple concept. I had to reference another book in order to understand it and as it turns out, it was a simple concept. A second example of the confusion is the Huffman coding sequence on page 398 - I am having to go onto the internet because I just plain don't understand the example. In my personal opinion I do not feel the book is thorough enough . . . it needs to be written more simply with better diagrams and examples.
Is the review positive or negative?
