Practical Data Structures Using C/C++

An introductory textbook on data structures and their applications within a C/C++ environment. For each data structure presented, it describes the storage method used, how the elements are accessed, how elements are added of deleted from the data structure, and when the data structure should be used. Also compares different data structures, shows how to select one for an application, and covers storage requirements and search time. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

Key Benefit:Ideal for those with no prior data structure experience, this comprehensive guide uses the C programming language to create both fundamental and complex data structure applications, fully supporting material with an abundance of practical examples throughout. Key Topics: Introduces the general concept of a data structure and identifies many commonly used data structures and their associated operations, with detailed coverage of both static and dynamic structures. Considers each new data structure's storage method; access to individual elements; modifications; and best time of use. A 3-D real-time virtual reality application called Virtual Maze ties many of the data structures together. Market: For computer science and technology professionals.
