Items related to C++ an Introduction to Data Structures
Synopsis
Designed for the introductory Data Structures course (CS2) that typically follows a first course in programming. This book offers a thorough, well-organized and up-to-date presentation of essential principles and practices in data structures using C++. It features both a "user" and a "builder" perspective- using data types to solve problems and building new data types. Looking for a thorough, well-organized and up-to-date introduction to data structures (CS2) using C++?
Features and Benefits
Follows the ACM curriculum guidelines for the CS2 course. Presents the Object-Centered-Design paradigm used in Adams/Leestma/ Nyhoff's C++- An Introduction to Computing, 2/E and culminates in true OOP (Object-Oriented Programming). Emphasizes abstract data types (ADTs) throughout, reinforcing the study of data structures in the spirit of OOP. Covers the containers and algorithms from the Standard Template Library, introducing the most up-to-date and powerful tools in C++. Presents standard C++ throughout. Includes advanced C++ topics, such as recursion, function and class templates, inheritance, and polymorphism- areas not typically covered in a first course. Introduces all of the usual data structures, such as stacks and queues, building a foundation for later courses. Discusses algorithm development, analysis, and verification, to provide training with important tools that will most likely be needed in future computer science work. Covers C-style topics appropriate in a data structures course, thus, preparing future programmers to use both C-style data structures and the many standard C++ tools and types. Offers more than 1,000 exercises consisting of written exercises, programming problems, and projects. A website maintained by the author contains supplementary materials, including source code. See the text's PH catalog page.

“The presentation is excellent, good writing style, supportive and well-placed illustrations; and a variety of exercises reinforcing the concepts.” ―Adair Dingle, Seattle University
“This is one of the very few books that I have seen that combines foundations of software engineering with an introduction to computer science in some detail and introduces topics that are only covered in advanced courses. It is very important that our students start to learn these fundamental issues as early as possible.” ―Mansour Zand, University of Nebraska
