Using the Java programming language, Drozdek highlights three important aspects of data structures and algorithms. First, the book places special emphasis on the connection between data structures and their algorithms, including an analysis of the algorithms complexity. Second, the book presents data structures in the context of object-oriented program design. Finally, the book closely examines data structure implementation.
Overall, this practical and theoretical book provides students with a solid foundation in data structures for future courses and work in design, implementation, testing, and maintenance of virtually any software system.
