Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

Abstract data types (ADT's) and data structures are key elements in unlocking the power of object-oriented programming. Designed for CS2 course; this popular book thoroughly covers ADTs (Abstract Data Types), data structures, and their use in problem solving. The text guides the student through the development of ADTs such as stacks, queues, and binary trees, the use of key data structures such as arrays, classes and linked lists to implement ADTs, and problem solving using Object-Oriented Design (OOD) methodologies. Algorithms required to design arid implement ADTs in C++ are given thorough treatment along with a solid introduction to the Standard Template Library (STL). C++ topics such as recursion, inheritance, and polymorphism are introduced and some C-style topics relative to data structures are also provided. Using examples, case studies and exercises from various areas of computer science, author Larry Nyhoff offers the student a solid foundation for further studies in CS while providing concrete tools for unlocking the power of C++.

New to the Second Edition
  • New chapters on searching and C++'s I/O and string classes
  • Improvements and additions to diagrams
  • Consistent naming conventions
  • Complete source code for ADTs
  • Expanded treatment of selected topics on the text's website
  • Introduces UML and uses UML-style diagrams for ADT specifications

    Really goes into details about advanced algorithms and gives a great feel on how to approach Abstract Data Types. If you use C++, this is a great book to read to see how you can make your coding more efficient, and the beauty is, because of the way everything is detailed, you can easily port some of this code to Java, C#, and other OOL.

    Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2010

    You should read this book after you have had an understanding of Object Oriented Programming (OOP). The book is about using existing constructions and structures in such a generic way, that allows you to take advantage of them, no matter what kind of data type is being used. Easy to read and conclusive.

    Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2018

    Had to use this for a C++ class in 2018.

    Because of its age, it can't cover newer/useful C++ features.
    It comes off as C taught with a C++ compiler.

    If you're curious about content, it doesn't delve overly deeply into much.
    It covers:
    - Implementing lists, stacks, queues, and search trees + binary search trees
    - Basic polymorphism with templates
    - Some inheritance (single, multiple)

    More advanced structures like red-black trees are touched on, but briefly.
