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

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.

Note that the above book is published on the website of the author, so it is not an illegal copy (in case the note about not duplicating without permission of the author or publisher gave you pause). Of course, you can't print multiple copies and pass them out, but you can use it for your own personal use free of charge.
