If you enter into the world of data structure and you are in the 2 semester of graduation, then firstly you buy “Data Structure by Seymour Lipschutz“.
It has a simple grammar and simple algorithm and will give you the briefing of the concept in simple terms. But if you read this you will only get 60% to 70% in the examination. This is not for GATE.
