About this title

Synopsis

Timothy Budd takes an exciting new approach to teaching data structures by incorporating the power of the Standard Template Library (STL). This book represents a reversal of the traditional presentation. Before concentrating on writing programs, Dr. Budd emphasizes how to use a standard abstraction. Working with this standard library, students will master the fundamentals of data structures and learn the power of C++, allowing them to carry their knowledge to later courses and into their careers. While the major topics have remained similar to the author's earlier book, Classic Data Structures in C++, the implementations have been completely revised. Since data structures are assumed to exist in the programming environment from the start, the presence of the STL permits reordering of topics within each chapter. Data Structures in C++ Using the STL. begins each new data structure by describing a typical use of the data structure. Dr. Budd then typically gives an overview of all the operations of the data structure, and only lastly presents an implementation. The implementations are, in most cases, simplified from the standard library versions.

Highlights Teaches data structures in the context of the C++ Standard Template Library Instructs the use of analysis techniques with which to evaluate algorithms Provides examples of modern software engineering principles and techniques, including object-oriented programming Introduces the proper use of various features of the C++ programming language
