Data Structures and Algorithms in Java

This
new book provides a concise and engaging introduction to Java and
object-oriented programming with an abundance of original examples, use
of Unified Modeling Language throughout, and coverage of the new Java
1.5. Addressing critical concepts up front, the book's five-part
structure covers object-oriented programming, linear structures,
algorithms, trees and collections, and advanced topics. KEY FEATURES:
Data Structures and Algorithms in Java takes a practical approach to
real-world programming and introduces readers to the process of crafting
programs by working through the development of projects, often
providing multiple versions of the code and consideration for alternate
designs. The book features the extensive use of games as examples; a
gradual development of classes analogous to the Java Collections
Framework; complete, working code in the book and online; and strong
pedagogy including extended examples in most chapters along with
exercises, problems and projects. For readers and professionals with a
familiarity with the basic control structures of Java or C and a
precalculus level of mathematics who want to expand their knowledge to
Java data structures and algorithms. Ideal for a second undergraduate
course in computer science.
