本书作者为Andrew.Binstock等。

本书重点关注的是实用，立即可用的代码，并且广泛讨论了可移植性和特定于实现的细节。本书作者介绍了一些用用但很少被讨论的算法，它们可用于语音查找，日期和时间历程，B树和索引文件，数据压缩，任意精度的算术，校验和数据验证，并且全面的介绍了例程，排序算法和数据结构。

本书只要求读者具有C语言的初级知识以及基本代数的相关知识。源代码经过测试符合ANSI标准，可以运行在UNIX下，以及BORLAND，Microsoft和Watcom的编译器上。-Book author Andrew.Binstock and so on. This book focuses on the practical and immediately available code, and extensive discussion of portability and implementation-specific details. The author describes some, but rarely discussed with the use of algorithms, which can be used for voice to find, date and time history, B tree and index files, data compression, arbitrary precision arithmetic, checking and data validation, and comprehensive introduced the routine, sorting algorithms and data structures. This book only requires the reader has a knowledge of C language primary and basic algebra knowledge. Source code has been tested meet ANSI standards, can run on UNIX, and BORLAND, Microsoft and Watcom compilers.
