This textbook is written for those who would like to learn C & Data Structures by themselves and become experts on their own steam. The focus is on teaching you the methods and the theory in an easy and understandable manner, that makes you confident. The approach taken in this text is to teach by practice and examples. We have taught the C and Data Structures for several years to graduate and post-graduate students and our experience shows that considerable effort is needed both on the part of instructors and students to cover the entire requisite material. This is mainly due to negligible or no previous knowledge of programming skills available with the student. Hence our C coverage has been extensive and almost on talking terms with you, explaining the details, the art of programming and so on.

The Computer Science Departments of many universities teach a functional language as the first programming language. Using a functional language with its high level of abstraction helps to emphasize the principles of programming. Functional programming is only one of the paradigms with which a student should be acquainted. Imperative, Concurrent, Object-Oriented, and Logic programming are also important. Depending on the problem to be solved, one of the paradigms will be chosen as the most natural paradigm for that problem.
