Data Structures and Other Objects Using C++ - Softcover

Data Structures and Other Objects Using C++ meets the needs of anyone who wants to balance the introduction of object-oriented concepts with data structures with C++. This book takes a gentle approach to the data structures course in C++ in that it provides an early, self-contained review of object-oriented programming and C++ to give students a firm grasp of key concepts and allows those experienced in another language to adjust easily. The book also offers flexibility that allows professors such options as emphasizing object-oriented programming, covering recursion and sorting early, or accelerating the pace of the course. This book provides a solid foundation in building and using abstract data types. The authors provide the basis for studying data structures by covering topics like container classes, pointers and linked lists, and time analysis and testing. In addition, the book contains an assortment of advanced topics such as B-trees for project building and graphs.
