The unique strength of this book lies in its combination of theory with real-world Java implementations, allowing readers to both understand the underlying concepts and apply them in practical coding scenarios. Additionally, each chapter is supported by code examples, diagrams, and problem sets that provide hands-on experience in tackling algorithmic challenges, making it an ideal resource for coding interview preparation. From basic operations to complexity analysis and optimization techniques, Mastering Data Structures and Algorithms with Java equips you with the tools necessary to write efficient, scalable, and performance-oriented code. It also includes a chapter dedicated to advanced data structures and practical tips for succeeding in coding interviews. Whether you're preparing for technical job interviews or simply looking to strengthen your programming foundation, this book will serve as an invaluable resource for mastering one of the most important areas of computer science.

The design and analysis of efficient data structures has long been recognized as a key component of the Computer Science curriculum. Goodrich, Tomassia and Goldwasser's approach to this classic topic is based on the object-oriented paradigm as the framework of choice for the design of data structures. For each ADT presented in the text, the authors provide an associated Java interface. Concrete data structures realizing the ADTs are provided as Java classes implementing the interfaces. The Java code implementing fundamental data structures in this book is organized in a single Java package, net.datastructures. This package forms a coherent library of data structures and algorithms in Java specifically designed for educational purposes in a way that is complimentary with the Java Collections Framework.

This compact and comprehensive book provides an introduction to data structures from an object-oriented perspective using the powerful language C++ as the programming vehicle. It is designed as an ideal text for the students before they start designing algorithms in C++. The book begins with an overview of C++, then it goes on to analyze the basic concepts of data structures, and finally focusses the reader's attention on abstract data structures. In so doing, the text uses simple examples to explain the meaning of each data type. Throughout, an attempt has been made to enable students to progress gradually from simple object-oriented abstract data structures to more advanced data structures. A large number of worked examples and the end-of-chapter exercises help the students reinforce the knowledge gained.Intended as a one-semester course for undergraduate students in computer science and for those who offer this course in engineering and management, the book should also prove highly useful to those IT professionals who have a keen interest in the subject.

Implementations, as well as interesting, real-world examples of each data structure and algorithm, are shown in the text. Full source code appears on the accompanying disk.
