    Data Structures

This is a complete introduction to the critical topic of data structures, written from the object-oriented perspective most students and practitioners are adopting.

The book introduces data structures using C++, a language whose classes and object-oriented constructs are specifically designed to efficiently implement data structures. The opening chapters introduce the ideas behind object-oriented programming and C++; once these ideas are explained, the book introduces data structures and algorithms from an O-O point of view. All standard data structures are described, including stacks, queues, sets, linked lists, trees and graphs. Searching and sorting algorithms are also studied.



Understand the fundamentals of data structures from an object-oriented perspective.

• Uses simple data structures to demonstrate the benefits of using templates.

• Employs a non-mathematical approach to algorithm efficiency.

• Includes complete, working C++ programs that show how all components fit together.
