Objects, Abstraction, Data Structures and Abstraction: Using C++ (Paperback)

Description:

• Combining a strong emphasis on problem solving and software design with the study of data structures, this book provides chapters on sets and maps, balanced binary search trees, and graphs.
• Although most readers will be familiar with C++, there is an extensive review chapter for those who need a refresher.
• The authors cover case studies that use the data structure to solve a significant problem while reinforcing the message of "Think, then code"--meaning, perform a thorough analysis of the problem and then carefully design a solution.
