Data Structures
and Abstractions with Java™
by Frank M. Carrano and Walter
Savitch
Written for an introductory course
in data structures, typically known as CS-2, this book was designed and built
from the ground up with Java and objects in mind. Frank Carrano and Walter Savitch
provide instructors and students with a carefully crafted and class-tested approach
for teaching ADTs and objects with Java. The book’s unique design organizes
material in short segments and relatively small chapters. This approach makes
learning easier and allows for teaching flexibility. The book shows students
how to organize their data by using a list, a dictionary, a stack, a queue,
and so on. Using these data organizations, students will learn about related
techniques for algorithm development.
Features:
- Separates the specification and
implementation of ADTs into individual, but consecutive, chapters.
- Presents short, bite-sized segments
that focus attention on one issue at a time.
- Organizes material into numerous,
relatively small chapters that can be covered in various sequences.
- Presents highlighted notes emphasizing
key material and providing supplementary comments.
- Offers programming tips that give
readers additional programming advice.
- Contains many figures, making
presentation more visual and less imposing than other books.
- Offers self-test questions throughout
chapters, with answers in the back of the book.
- Integrates Java coverage into
the presentation, including the javadoc documentation style for Java programs.
