Overview
This book successfully balances the introduction of object-oriented concepts with data structures in C++.
KEN TOPICS:Provides interfaces for the principal example classes, which are compliant with the ANSI/ISO C++ Standard Library classes. Thorough coverage of the role of the const keyword in the C++ Standard Library. Covers C++ features such as namespaces, static member constants, typename keyword, and inheritance. Thorough review of C++ syntax and OOP concepts, making book accessible for programmers at various levels. The book also gives readers a firm grasp of key concepts and allows programmers experienced in another language to adjust easily. A solid foundation in building and using abstract data types is also provided, along with an assortment of advanced topics such as B-trees for project building and graphs.
This book is designed for novice programmers who have learned the concepts of objects and classes and want to move on to the data structures topics of recursion and data abstraction.
Synopsis
Assuming familiarity with C++ functions and arrays, this textbook for a second course in computer science covers the specification and design of basic data types, abstraction techniques, object-oriented programming, and sorting. The third edition adds a programming project on using vectors to implement a hash table, and an appendix on exception handling. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
