Product Description
Book Description
This book uses a modern object-oriented approach to data structures, unified around the notion of the Standard Template Library (STL) container classes. The book presents a systematic development of data structures supported by numerous examples and complete programs. The authors separate the applications of a data structure from its implementation. Includes an applied study of interesting and classical algorithms that illustrate the data structures using only simple mathematical concepts (Big-O notation is introduced intuitively); Many additional figures are integrated into the presentation; ADT (Abstract Data Type) for each data structure—immediately used to solve appropriate problems; Early and accessible introduction to templates and iterators; Use of modern C++ constructs in developing data structures and their applications provides enough language detail to sufficiently understand the constructs.
From the Publisher
This book uses a truly object-oriented perspective to concentrate on teaching data structures rather than C++ language features. Each major data structure is introduced with a corresponding collection class. This streamlined approach allows the authors to cover advanced topics such as templates, graphs, searching, sorting, dictionaries, and files. Excellent case studies are also included.

Great book to learn data structures with STL,
This review is from: Data Structures with C++ Using STL (Paperback)
This text is for sophomore-level students, but as the authors claimed it's a good read for professionals as well, a reason being that a professional of many years may not have learned data structures together with designs and implementations in C++ with STL. Going back five to ten years, the book in its current form could not have existed, which is why it's beneficial for the professional to read it.As a professional, I envy the current college students who are lucky to have this book as the text of one of their courses. A student is also given a semester to digest its content, to do the exercises and projects at the end of each chapter, which is not usually possible for a professional. On the other hand, because of years of experience and perhaps plus college background, things students usually and sometimes must do aren't necessary for the professional, who should be able to read through the book in considerably shorter period of time. In summary, it's a great read on the subjects, though one star is taken off for its imperfection such as mistakes in the code and less than superior presentation of some materials.

Great for Data Structures,
By A Customer
This review is from: Data Structures with C++ Using STL (Paperback)
Excellent book! It was assigned for my Data Structures course. Basic knowledge of C++ and the way classes work is required, but it is an excelent reference. I would NOT sell this book back to the campus bookstore for anything after completing the class.

UPDATE YOUR CODE EXAMPLES,
By M. Sacks - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Data Structures with C++ Using STL (Paperback)
The book itself is great and illustrates the core concepts well.The code examples are grossly out of date (were talking 1990's) and completely ruins the beautiful text by adding confusing, poorly written code examples to reinforce good literature. If you are buying this to learn data structures as a reference, great. If you expect usable code examples this is not the book for you. Highly Microsoft Visual Studio Centric. Not ANSI C++. My note to the author's / publisher: You need to keep up with the times. This is technology and it moves quickly. Otherwise future-proof your code as much as possible. 10 of 12 people found the following review helpful

Explainations and concepts are great, good sample code.,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Data Structures with C++ (Hardcover)
The book is close to 900 pages of 14 chapters. You can get all source in book from ftp site. Covers the Data Structures well with clear explainations of "HOW" and "WHY" things work in the implementation of code. Has many written excercises(with answers), and also lots of programming excercises for practice. This is truly a book that leaves you with the answers you seek, and the text is under- standable unlike other text books that try to explain the complexities of data structures, and leave you wondering what is going on. You will understand what is going on with this BOOK!! It is a C++ book. It is a BOOK you can curl up with and enjoy reading it! I strongly suggest it to universities and programmers in the real world!!!!!!!!! J Franzmeier USA

Too many errors,
By Curtis Pruden "Kayaker" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Data Structures with C++ Using STL (Paperback)
This was a required text book for a college class. The first problem I had was trying to read the blocks of code. For some reason the background of the block was shaded and made the text almost unreadable. Then as I progressed through the chapters I started noticing errors. a typo here, an incorrect image there... it made me doubt the validity of the information I was receiving. I never found any factual errors (but what do I know, I'm a college student).IMO 16 errors, including the wrong answers in the chapter review questions, are too many for a 2nd edition that costs over $100.00 |
