Please,can anyone help me by providing the 'best sources' on Internet
related to 'Advanced C' concepts like ADTs, Linked Lists,Queues,Stacks,Trees
etc?Thanks in Advance.

These are *not* "Advanced C concepts".

I used Google

http://www.google.com/

to search for

"Data Structures and Algorithms in C"

and found lots of stuff.

Thanks Robert for 'understanding' the post.I did a lot of search before
posting to this group, but all I could find,as you said,was course syllabi.

btw...all group members...no netizen today, needs introduction to google.If
you are not willing to help, don't bother replying posts.

and Mr.Tom St Denis, I don't know how experienced you are as a C
programmer,but let me reiterate that "ADTs, Linked Lists, Queues, Stacks,
Trees, etc" are considered "Advanced C" along with Memory/Buffer
manipulation, Advanced pointer concepts, System call interface/Portability
Programming, Bit Field Manipulation etc.Do you know anything 'more'?

Tom St.Denis has a bad reputation here on comp.lang.c, and for good
reason, I might say. He keeps insisting off-topic posts are on-topic,
because they deal with OS-specific extensions to C. And his grasp of
even some aspects of standard C is a bit shoddy. I would suggest you
take anything he says with a grain of salt.

I have little to no experience with Tom's posting habits, but I can tell
you that he was dead on target *this* time. ADTs are not C-specific.
Lists, queues, stacks, and trees are not C-specific. Memory management,
pointers, system calls, and bitwise ops do have C-specific
interpretations, but you'll note that the OP didn't ask about those.

Questions about data structures should be directed to comp.programming.

Questions about where to find things on the Internet should be directed
to http://www.google.com.

Questions involving questions about C code should be directed to
comp.lang.c or alt.comp.lang.learn.c-c++, but the OP didn't ask for
help with his C code - he asked where to find information on the Internet
about data structures.

I recently went to the local feed store and got a block of the salt
that one puts out in the fields in the winter for deer.

That almost helps.

by who ? ADTs, linked-lists queues, stacks and trees are *NOT* advanced
C concepts. they are very basic C concepts.

basic.

theres that word "advanced" again ... exactly *what* do you
mean by "advanced pointer concepts" ???

there is no "advanced" pointer concepts, with pointers, either
you "get it" or you dont ...

very basic as well, unless you dont have the docs for the
system calls you want to do

> it Field Manipulation etc

that is *very* basic.

>.Do you know anything 'more'?

i suspect that most C programmers do, wrt to the language anyway.

also, please do not toppost,
thanks


goose,
does this make me "advancedd" or what ?

Hello goose,

may be not by 'unique' persons like you.do a search...'Advanced C' on
google.you will then underand by whom...they are considered 'Advanced C'.I
think your version of 'C Bible'(you know what I am refering to) has every
topic I mentioned.Does it?try to move along with the world.

again I am talking about techniques exploiting the power of these.try to
differentiate a professional & a learner.In any part of the world technology
is taught in 2 modes... 'Introductory' & 'Advanced'.3-4 in many cases.you
are exceptional ofcourse.

I guess you are one of those.Please let us know what more?

I would be very glad to know from you,Mr.goose, what else in the world
,wuold you categorize under 'Advanced C'.I know you are not ready to put
anything under it,because for you everything is 'Basic'...'Very Basic'.funny

If you think manipulation of lists, trees, and other ADTs is all there
is to C, you don't know very much about programming. Keep on studying.
