This classic book has been revised to further enhance its focus on data abstraction and data structures using C++. In this new edition, the clarity of the C++ language is enhanced, along with coverage of the latest C++ features, including stronger use of the Standard Template Library. This edition continues with Frank Carrano's lucid writing style, widespread use of examples, and flexible coverage of important topics.
This new edition of Walls and Mirrors presents the important concepts of data abstraction and data structures using C++ as the language of implementation. The text formally introduces students to classes along with other basic concepts of object-oriented programming, including inheritance and virtual functions. The emphasis of the text, however, remains on abstract data types (ADTs), not on C++. Numerous examples of ADTs implemented as classes are examined including lists, stacks, queues, trees, heaps, graphs, and tables. The text covers recursion extensively, ensuring that students receive a firm grounding in this important topic.
