Data Abstraction and Problem Solving with Java, Walls and Mirrors, Updated Edition (International Edition) - Softcover
The Third Edition of Data Abstraction and Problem Solving with Java: Walls and Mirrors employs the analogies of Walls (data abstraction) and Mirrors (recursion) to teach Java programming design solutions, in a way that beginning students find accessible. The book has a student-friendly pedagogical approach that carefully accounts for the strengths and weaknesses of the Java language. With this book, students will gain a solid foundation in data abstraction, object-oriented programming, and other problem-solving techniques.

Dr. Janet Prichard is an assistant professor at Bryant College where she teaches web design and development, object-oriented computing, operating systems, and data structures courses. She has a B.A. in mathematics from Providence College, and earned her M.S. and Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Rhode Island. Her academic interests include real-time databases, database query languages, object-oriented analysis and design methodologies, database standards, client-server models, and Internet security. Dr. Prichard is the lead author of the Third Edition of Data Abstraction and Problem Solving with Java.
Frank M. Carrano is Professor Emeritus of Computer Science at the University of Rhode Island. He received his Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from Syracuse University in 1969. His interests include data structures, computer science education, social issues in computing, and numerical computation. Professor Carrano is particularly interested in the design and delivery of undergraduate courses in computer science. He has authored several well-known computer science textbooks for undergraduates.

This book is based on the classic "Walls and Mirrors" approach used in the best-selling Data Abstraction and Problem Solving in C++, and is now updated to the Java programming language. It uses the running theme of "Walls and Mirrors" to help make clear the challenging concepts of recursion (the mirrors) and data abstraction (the walls). Authors Carrano and Prichard cover key object-oriented concepts, including encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism. However, the focus of the book remains on data abstraction instead of simply Java syntax.
Features:- Provides a firm foundation in data abstraction (the walls), emphasizing the distinction between specification and implementation as the foundation for the object-oriented approach
- Offers extensive coverage of recursion (the mirrors) and uses the technique throughout many examples and exercises.
- Introduces analysis of algorithms and Big "O" notation.
- Provides an appendix covering basic Java syntax for those know a different language or who need a refresher
- Contains many pedagogical study aids such as programming pitfall warnings and self-tests with answers
- A proven approach, adapted from the best selling Data Abstraction and Problem Solving in C++
