Data structures and problem solving using JavaUpplaga 1

Data Structures and Problem Solving Using Java teaches data structures and algorithms from the perspective of abstract thinking and problem solving. In this text, experienced author and educator Mark Allen Weiss takes a unique approach by clearly separating the specification and implementation of data structures. Dr. Weiss presents the interface and running time of data structures in Part II of the book. Then, he provides the opportunity for students to use the data structures in a variety of practical examples before introducing the implementations in Part IV. By first gaining a familiarity with the interfaces and uses of data structures, readers will be able to think more abstractly about the subject matter. Features Contains extensive sample code using Java 1.1, which is available over the Internet and has been tested and reviewed by a professional programmer for accuracy. Provides an introduction to Java in Part I and also covers Graphical User Interfaces (GUI's) in an appendix. Includes pedagogical aids such as margin notes and comprehensive end-of-chapter material to help readers grasp challenging concepts. Offers flexibility in topic coverage by minimizing dependencies among the different chapters. 0201549913B04062001
