Re: good algorithms come with practice and reading good code/books?

I also suggest as a reference Herb Schildt's Complete Reference
to C (check out herbschildt.com)

But the book that really opened my eyes to the art of programming
and algorithms was Mastering Algorithms with C ISBN
10:1-56592-453-3 ISBN 13: 9781565924536.

If you really want to study algorithms in more depth, allow me
also to suggest Algorithms in C parts 1-5, by Robert Sedgewick.

Sedgewick is good, I don't know about Mastering Algorithms, but
anything by Schildt is fundamentally wrong and will give you evil
habits. It is generally known as BullSchildt around here. You
might want to get the ISO standard as the ultimate reference.
Search for N869 and/or N1124. A well formatted text version
suitable for quoting and easy searching with less is available,
