Create sound software designs with data structures that use modern object-oriented design patterns! Author Bruno Preiss presents the fundamentals of data structures and algorithms from a modern, object-oriented perspective. The text promotes object-oriented design using Java and illustrates the use of the latest object-oriented design patterns. Virtually all the data structures are discussed in the context of a single class hierarchy. This framework clearly shows the relationships between data structures and illustrates how polymorphism and inheritance can be used effectively. Key Features of the Text* All data structures are presented using a common framework. This shows the relationship between the data structures and how they are implemented.* Object-oriented design patterns are used to demonstrate how a good design fits together and transcends the problem at hand.* A single Java software design is used throughout the text to provide a better understanding of the operation of complicated data structures.* Just-in-time presentation of mathematical analysis techniques introduces students to mathematical concepts as needed.Visit the Text's Web Site A comprehensive web site is available for users of the text at www.wiley.com/college/preiss.
