Data Structures and Abstractions with Java

For one- or two-semester courses in data structures (CS-2)

A relatable and friendly introduction to data structures and their implementation. The 5th Edition of Data Structures and Abstractions with Java introduces students to data structures (CS-2) in a supportive, reader-friendly way. The book's organisation, sequencing, and pace of topic coverage make teaching and learning easier by:

• Focusing the reader's attention on one concept at a time
• Providing flexibility in the order in which one can cover topics
• Clearly separating the specification of each abstract data type (ADT) from its implementation
• Placing relevant coverage of Java into Java Interludes, which you can use as needed.

To increase readability and learning potential, the numbered segments and modular presentation provide a flexible, customisable pathway through the material and focus the reader's attention on one concept at a time. Numerous examples that mimic real-world situations provide a context for the new material and help to make it easier for students to learn and retain abstract concepts. The 5th Edition has a revamped structure and additional pedagogical tools to assist in mastering concepts.
