Synopsis

An updated, innovative approach to data structures and algorithms Written by an author team of experts in their fields, this authoritative guide demystifies even the most difficult mathematical concepts so that you can gain a clear understanding of data structures and algorithms in C++. The unparalleled author team incorporates the object-oriented design paradigm using C++ as the implementation language, while also providing intuition and analysis of fundamental algorithms. * Offers a unique multimedia format for learning the fundamentals of data structures and algorithms * Allows you to visualize key analytic concepts, learn about the most recent insights in the field, and do data structure design * Provides clear approaches for developing programs * Features a clear, easy-to-understand writing style that breaks down even the most difficult mathematical concepts Building on the success of the first edition, this new version offers you an innovative approach to fundamental data structures and algorithms.

About this title

Synopsis:

This title presents a consistent object-oriented perspective. Recursion emphasized throughout, particularly in chapters 2 and 4. Design patterns provide clear approaches for developing programs. This title offers a unique multimedia format for learning the fundamentals of data structures and algorithms. A robust set of end-of-chapter problems are arranged by purpose - reinforcement problems assess understanding; creativity problems require students to apply concepts to writing 'classes' (portions of a program); projects require students to write entire programs. Outstanding writing style presents even the most difficult mathematical concepts clearly. 'Visual Proofs' helps students better understand complex analytic concepts. Animations on the text's Web site clearly illustrate data structures and algorithms. Exercises offer numerous opportunities for hands-on learning. Emphasizes the practical application of the latest software engineering practices.
