Data Structures and Algorithms in C++  (English, Paperback, Goodrich Michael T.)

Data Structures And Algorithms In C++ is a comprehensive reference guide on the C++ programming language.

Summary Of The Book

Written by three well-known researchers in the field of Computer Science, Data Structures And Algorithms In C++ is an all-inclusive book on the C++ programming language. The authors offer an exhaustive introduction to data structures and algorithms, and their analysis, design, and implementation. Keeping in mind the requirements of computer science and computer engineering curriculum, it focuses on the freshman-sophomore level Data Structures (CS2) course.

Some of the salient features of this book are that it offers visual justifications for the mathematical arguments included. It reviews the fundamental features of the C++ programming language and provides a detailed explanation of sorting algorithms. A complete coverage of pattern-matching and graph algorithms along with an introduction to object-oriented design with C++ is provided here. Moreover, the book presents ample information on concepts like lists, hash tables, heals, and vectors.

Data Structures And Algorithms In C++ is divided into thirteen chapters. The first chapter is about Basic C++ Programming. Object Oriented Design is discussed in the second chapter and the third chapter explores Analysis Tools. The fourth one is about Stacks, Queues, and Recursion, whereas the fifth chapter explores Vectors, Lists, and Sequences. Trees and Priority Queues, Dictionaries, Search Trees, Sorting, Sets, and Selection are discussed next.

The eleventh chapter explains Text Processing in detail. The last chapter is dedicated to graphs and an appendix is included to list various mathematical facts.

Readers can learn a variety of skills from Data Structures And Algorithms In C++ , including Data Structure Design, Algorithms, and the implementation and coding of designs using C++. The text includes several C++ codes along with pseudo-code fragments.
