Data Structures and Abstractions with Java

A textbook for a second semester computer science course on data structures. Paired chapters specify a specific abstract data type (ADT) used in Java programs—such as lists, iterators, sorting techniques, dictionaries, stacks, queues, trees, and graphs—then provide sample implementations of the ADT.
