Object-Oriented Data Structures Using Java / Edition 4

by Nell Dale, Daniel T. Joyce, Chip Weems

Overview

The updated and revised Object-Oriented Data Structures Using Java, Fourth Edition is an essential resource for students learning data structures using the Java programming language. It presents both the traditional and modern data structure topics with an emphasis on problem-solving and object-oriented software design. Beginning early and continuing throughout the text, it introduces and expands upon the use of many Java features such as classes, objects, generics, polymorphism, packages, interfaces, library classes, inheritance, exceptions, and threads. NEW - Includes chapters on the Map ADT and the Collection ADT NEW - Section s highlighting variations on the standard data structures, including a look at how the structures are supported by the Java Standard Library NEW - New sections and examples introduce important topics such as image generation, recursive processing of arrays and linked lists, fractals, games, and text analysis UPDATED - Current and clarified exposition throughout STUDENT FAVORITE - Numerous exercises throughout allow students to experience a variety of applications on the concepts within the chapter, which vary in level of difficulty © 2018 | 694 pages

About the Author

Nell Dale received a B.S. in Mathematics and Psychology from the University of Houston, a M.A. in Mathematics, from the University of Texas at Austin, and a Ph.D. in Computer Sciences from the University of Texas at Austin. Nell Dale has been on the faculty at the University of Texas, Austin since 1975. She teaches occasionally but concentrates on computer science education, writing, traveling, tennis, and bridge — and her family of course.

Daniel Joyce is an Associate Professor with the Computing Science department at Villanova University. He enjoys managing the departments' project-based courses. Joyce's research interests are in software engineering with a focus in software requirements identification. He is also active in the computer science education community.

Chip Weems is an Associate Professor of computer science at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. He received his Bachelor's and Master's degrees from Oregon State University in 1977 and 1979, respectively. He received a Ph.D. from the University of Massachusetts in 1984. Over the last 23 years, he has taught courses in introductory programming, software engineering, computer architecture, and parallel processing. Since 1986 he has co-authored 13 textbooks that have helped over a million students learn to program computers. His books have been translated into French, Spanish, and Russian. He conducts research in computer architecture, compilers, parallel processing, and compiler-architecture co-optimization.

Editorial Reviews

Written to present the algorithmic, programming, and structuring techniques of traditional data structures courses in an object- oriented context, this text presents the familiar topics, but with an emphasis on defining structures using Java interfaces and encapsulating them as Java classes. Chapters cover software engineering, data design and implementation, unsorted and sorted lists, stacks and queues, linked structures, programming with recursion, and sorting and searching algorithms.
