Applied book on data structures
Hi,
I am looking for an applied book of data structure and algorithms. Not a theoretical one that deals with the math or implementation but something that explains in what situation a particular data structure or algorithm is chosen and how it solves the problem of
1. Performance
2. Memory efficiency
etc.
Basically a truly applied book that shows real life situation examples and not the esoteric theoretical stuff
thanks

Hi tommy,
In that case which is the best theory book with less math.

The theoretical books do give examples. You need to understand the theory so you can choose what is best for your situation. If you just want a book that lists the write data structure for every possible situation, then you are out of luck (of course).
If you just want to know what to use without understanding the theory, you don't need a book. You need a forum (like this one!) where you can ask people who do understand the theory.
