Also which book to refer for DS in C++?
I used to be a big fan of Herbert Schildt's _C++: The Complete
Reference_ (probably still would be, only I don't bother with C++
anymore).
C++ is, of course, off-topic here.
Any book by Herbert Schildt should be avoided. The general consensus
is that he's a skilled writer with an engaging style who doesn't really
know what he's talking about; he's therefore extremely effective at
propagating misinformation. See Clive Feather's review of his _The
Annotated ANSI C Standard_ at <http://www.quut.com/c/schildt.html>,
and Peter Seebach's review of his _C: The Complete Reference_ at
<http://herd.plethora.net/~seebs/c/c_tcr.html>.
(Rumor says Schildt has improved since then, but not enough.)
