It offers an early, self-contained review of object-oriented programming and Java to give students a firm grasp of key concepts, and allows those experienced in other languages to adjust easily. The book also offers a flexibility which allows professors such options as emphasizing object-oriented programming, covering recursion and sorting early or accelerating the pace of the course. This book takes a gentle approach to the data structures course in Java. This title meets the needs of professors searching for a book to balance the introduction of object-oriented programming and data structures with Java.
From the Back Cover Features * Offers a flexible ordering of topics so professors can tailor the book to meet their course needs * Teaches students how to specify, design, implement, and use classes based on the Java Class Libraries * Consistently uses a five-step method for working with data types to ensure students have a thorough knowledge of the subject: understand the data type abstractly, write a specification, use the data type, design and implement the data type, and analyze the implementation * Shows students how to write Java Applets to test newly implemented data structures 0201357445B04062001
bah, there are better books than this, dude Amazon Customer I have read several books on data structures (3). And in my opinion this is the worst of the lot. I have run into bugs, and if you buy this book you should go to the authors website so he can point them out for you. I had a great deal of trouble with this author's sample code, this is the main reason I did not like this book. Remember to include all his damn packages, w. Steve Selleny said Good book for students. Covers basic data structures well, especially for those with little or no experience. The online resources and coding is helpful, although you have to beware for a few syntax errors in the author's online code (I don't think it was ever compiled). I've only used about half the book, but remember, it's not a book designed to teach Java, it's designed to teach Data Struct. Does Hash tables well I only needed to use the Hash table section. It was complete and the examples were easy to follow. The author explained hash tables in general, then he implimented one in java from scatch, and then it showed how to use the java api hash table classes. Very good job by MR. Main! I also read the hash table section in Core Java 1.1 volume I, but that book did not really ex
