About this title

Synopsis:

This book is an update of the classic "Walls and Mirrors" approach to programming, which instills the use of both abstraction (the walls) and recursion (the mirrors) to design solutions to problems. Data Abstraction and Problem Solving with Java: Walls and Mirrors provides a focus on the important concepts of data abstraction and data structures in a manner accessible to students at the introductory level. The book carefully accounts for the strengths and weaknesses of the Java language and is committed to a pedagogical approach that makes the material student friendly. The focus of this book is data abstraction, as well as key object-oriented concepts, including encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism.

From the Back Cover:

Data Abstraction and Problem Solving in C++, and is now updated to the Java programming language. It uses the running theme of "Walls and Mirrors" to help make clear the challenging concepts of recursion (the mirrors) and data abstraction (the walls). Authors Carrano and Prichard cover key object-oriented concepts, including encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism. However, the focus of the book remains on data abstraction instead of simply Java syntax.

Features:

Provides a firm foundation in data abstraction (the walls), emphasizing the distinction between specification and implementation as the foundation for the object-oriented approach
Offers extensive coverage of recursion (the mirrors) and uses the technique throughout many examples and exercises.
Introduces analysis of algorithms and Big "O" notation.
Provides an appendix covering basic Java syntax for those know a different language or who need a refresher
Contains many pedagogical study aids such as programming pitfall warnings and self-tests with answers
A proven approach, adapted from the best selling Data Abstraction and Problem Solving in C++
