About the Book: Principles of DATA STRUCTURES using C and C++ covers all the fundamental topics to give a better understanding about the subject. The study of data structures is essential to every one who comes across with computer science. This book is written in accordance with the revised syllabus for B. Tech./B.E. (both Computer Science and Electronics branches) and MCA. students of Kerala University, MG University, Calicut University, CUSAT Cochin (deemed) University. NIT Calicut (deemed) University, Anna University, UP Technical University, Amritha Viswa (deemed) Vidyapeeth, Karunya (dee.

Using C, this book develops the concepts and theory of data structures and algorithm analysis in a gradual, step-by-step manner, proceeding from concrete examples to abstract principles. Standish covers a wide range of both traditional and contemporary software engineering topics. The text also includes an introduction to object-oriented programming using C++. By introducing recurring themes such as levels of abstraction, recursion, efficiency, representation and trade-offs, the author unifies the material throughout. Mathematical foundations can be incorporated at a variety of depths, allowing the appropriate amount of math for each user.

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

Get started with C++ programming by learning how to build applications using its data structures and algorithms Key FeaturesExplore data structures such as arrays, stacks, and graphs with real-world examplesStudy the trade-offs between algorithms and data structures and discover what works and what doesn'tDiscover how techniques such as bloom filters and multi-way heaps boost real-world applicationsBook Description C++ is a mature multi-paradigm programming language that enables you to write high-level code with a high degree of control over the hardware. Today, significant parts of software infrastructure, including databases, browsers, multimedia frameworks, and GUI toolkits, are written in C++. This book starts by introducing C++ data structures and how to store data using linked lists, arrays, stacks, and queues. In later chapters, the book explains the basic algorithm design paradigms, such as the greedy approach and the divide-and-conquer approach, which are used to solve a large variety of computational problems. Finally, you will learn the advanced technique of dynamic programming to develop optimized implementations of several algorithms discussed in the book. By the end of this book, you will have learned how to implement standard data structures and algorithms in efficient and scalable C++ 14 code. What you will learnBuild applications using hash tables, dictionaries, and setsExplore how modern hardware affects the actual run-time performance of programsApply common algorithms such as heapsort and merge sort for string data typesUse C++ template metaprogramming to write code librariesImplement a URL shortening service using a bloom filterUse appropriate modern C++ idioms such as std:: array instead of C-style arraysWho this book is for This book is for developers or students who want to revisit basic data structures and algorithm design techniques. Although no mathematical background is required, basic knowledge of complexity classes and Big O notation along with a qualification in an algorithms course will help you get the most out of this book. Familiarity with C++ 14 standard is assumed.

This practical text contains fairly "traditional" coverage of data structures with a clear and complete use of algorithm analysis, and some emphasis on file processing techniques as relevant to modern programmers. It fully integrates OO programming with these topics, as part of the detailed presentation of OO programming itself.Chapter topics include lists, stacks, and queues; binary and general trees; graphs; file processing and external sorting; searching; indexing; and limits to computation.For programmers who need a good reference on data structures.
