The latest book from Cengage Learning on Data Structures Using C++, International Edition

Most books on data structures are filled with so many technical details (and lack thorough explanations) that the reading becomes difficult. This accessible, conversational presentation explores data structures concepts in clear language. Assumes a basic knowledge of C++. Focuses on the client for all programs, classes, and data structures. Offers meaningful, relevant examples and worked examples throughout. Includes thoroughly tested code. Provides code for all examples. A useful reference for anyone interested in learning more about programming.

Learn how to build efficient, secure and robust code in C++ by using data structures and algorithms - the building blocks of C++ Key Features Use data structures such as arrays, stacks, trees, lists, and graphs with real-world examples Learn the functional and reactive implementations of the traditional data structures Explore illustrations to present data structures and algorithms, as well as their analysis, in a clear, visual manner Book Description C++ is a general-purpose programming language which has evolved over the years and is used to develop software for many different sectors. This book will be your companion as it takes you through implementing classic data structures and algorithms to help you get up and running as a confident C++ programmer. We begin with an introduction to C++ data structures and algorithms while also covering essential language constructs. Next, we will see how to store data using linked lists, arrays, stacks, and queues. Then, we will learn how to implement different sorting algorithms, such as quick sort and heap sort. Along with these, we will dive into searching algorithms such as linear search, binary search and more. Our next mission will be to attain high performance by implementing algorithms to string datatypes and implementing hash structures in algorithm design. We'll also analyze Brute Force algorithms, Greedy algorithms, and more. By the end of the book, you'll know how to build components that are easy to understand, debug, and use in different applications. What you will learn Know how to use arrays and lists to get better results in complex scenarios Build enhanced applications by using hashtables, dictionaries, and sets Implement searching algorithms such as linear search, binary search, jump search, exponential search, and more Have a positive impact on the efficiency of applications with tree traversal Explore the design used in sorting algorithms like Heap sort, Quick sort, Merge sort and Radix sort Implement various common algorithms in string data types Find out how to design an algorithm for a specific task using the common algorithm paradigms Who this book is for This book is for developers who would like to learn the Data Structures and Algorithms in C++. Basic C++ programming knowledge is expected.

The author uses C++ to introduce the reader to the classic data structures that are found in almost all computer programs. The proper uses of various features of the C++ programming language are introduced and a C++ appendix is included. The book also provides examples of modern software engineering principles and techniques.

In this second edition of his successful book, experienced teacher and author Mark Allen Weiss continues to refine and enhance his innovative approach to algorithms and data structures. Written for the advanced data structures course, this text highlights theoretical topics such as abstract data types and the efficiency of algorithms, as well as performance and running time. Before covering algorithms and data structures, the author provides a brief introduction to C++ for programmers unfamiliar with the language. Dr Weiss's clear writing style, logical organization of topics, and extensive use of figures and examples to demonstrate the successive stages of an algorithm make this an accessible, valuable text. New to this Edition *An appendix on the Standard Template Library (STL) *C++ code, tested on multiple platforms, that conforms to the ANSI ISO final draft standard 0201361221B04062001

Strengthen your understanding of data structures and their algorithms for the foundation you need to successfully design, implement and maintain virtually any software system. Theoretical, yet practical, DATA STRUCUTRES AND ALGORITHMS IN C++, 4E by experienced author Adam Drosdek highlights the fundamental connection between data structures and their algorithms, giving equal weight to the practical implementation of data structures and the theoretical analysis of algorithms and their efficiency. This edition provides critical new coverage of treaps, k-d trees and k-d B-trees, generational garbage collection, and other advanced topics such as sorting methods and a new hashing technique. Abundant C++ code examples and a variety of case studies provide valuable insights into data structures implementation. DATA STRUCTURES AND ALGORITHMS IN C++ provides the balance of theory and practice to prepare readers for a variety of applications in a modern, object-oriented paradigm.
