Synopsis:

Written by best selling authors Carrano and Savitch, this object-oriented book is designed and built with object-oriented issues and JAVA in mind. With a focus on the specification and implementation of ADTs, this book also shows the reader how to use and implement key data organizations such as dictionary, graph, and tree. Lists, iterators, dictionaries, sorting, trees, and more. For computer scientists, information systems designers, and other professionals that contend with data organization.

From the Back Cover:

Written for an introductory course in data structures, typically known as CS-2, this book was designed and built from the ground up with Java and objects in mind. Frank Carrano and Walter Savitch provide instructors and students with a carefully crafted and class-tested approach for teaching ADTs and objects with Java. The book's unique design organizes material in short segments and relatively small chapters. This approach makes learning easier and allows for teaching flexibility. The book shows students how to organize their data by using a list, a dictionary, a stack, a queue, and so on. Using these data organizations, students will learn about related techniques for algorithm development.
