UNDERGRADUATE TOPICS IN COMPUTER SCIENCE GUID...

This accessible and engaging textbook guide provides a concise introduction to data structures
and associated algorithms. Emphasis is placed on the fundamentals of data structures  enabling
the reader to quickly learn the key concepts  and providing a strong foundation for later
studies of more complex topics. The coverage includes discussions on stacks  queues  lists 
(using both arrays and links)  sorting  and elementary binary trees  heaps  and hashing. This
content is also a natural continuation from the material provided in the separate Springer
title Guide to Java by the same authors.Topics and features: reviews the preliminary concepts 
and introduces stacks and queues using arrays  along with a discussion of array-based lists 
examines linked lists  the implementation of stacks and queues using references  binary trees 
a range of varied sorting techniques  heaps  and hashing  presents both primitive and generic
data types in each chapter  and makes use of contour diagrams to illustrate object-oriented
concepts  includes chapter summaries  and asks the reader questions to help them interact with
the material  contains numerous examples and illustrations  and one or more complete program in
every chapter  provides exercises at the end of each chapter  as well as solutions to selected
exercises  and a glossary of important terms. This clearly-written work is an ideal classroom
text for a second semester course in programming using the Java programming language  in
preparation for a subsequent advanced course in data structures and algorithms. The book is
also eminently suitable as a self-study guide in either academe or industry.
