Product Description

Book Description

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most thorough and intelligent introduction to C++ ever, July 28 2003
This review is from: Data Structures and Other Objects Using C++ (Paperback)
This book is in my opinion the "bible" of C++ programming books. It is well-structured, precise and provides examples of how to implement commonly encountered algorithms and data structures such as equation evaluation, linked lists and recursive algorithms.
Combined with the source codes on the accompaning website, it is a invaluable source on C++ programming.

1.0 out of 5 stars Neither a good C++ nor a good Data Structures text., May 23 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Data Structures and Other Objects Using C++ (Paperback)
I signed up for a graduate level Data Structures class and this
was the required text. Due to travel for work I had to drop the
class, but decided to keep and read the text. What a complete
disappointment.

This book is not bad as an introduction to programming with
C++ as the introductory language, but it is not thorough or
complete enough in its coverage of C++ to be a good C++ text,
and it is most certainly not a Data Structures text. Even more,
it is not in any way an advanced or graduate level text.

It is a reasonable introduction to basic programming and
structure concepts. It adequately introduces such ideas as
queues, stacks, linked lists, although coverage of these topics
doesn't really start until halfway into the book. Coverage of
trees and graphs is also present but light, and doesn't occur
until the final quarter or so.

I didn't care for the style or presentation, but that's really
a matter of personal taste. My objection to this book is that
it should be billed as "Introductory Programming with C++",
rather than as an advanced text in Data Structures.

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent but lacking examples, Jan 26 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Data Structures and Other Objects Using C++ (Paperback)
The book is Ok- the explanations are pretty good and clear but the book lacks examples, especially on the more advanced topics such as binary trees, stacks, and so on. Is not a very good guide for programming as there are no examples to look at. There are probably better and more complete books out there.
