Data Structures And Problem Solving Using C

Data Structures and Problem Solving Using C++

Experienced author and teacher Mark Allen Weiss now brings his expertise to the CS2 course with Algorithms, Data Structures, and Problem Solving with C++, which introduces both data structures and algorithm design from the viewpoint of abstract thinking and problem solving. The author chooses C++ as the language of implementation, but the emphasis of the book itself remains on uniformly accepted CS2 topics such as pointers, data structures, algorithm analysis, and increasingly complex programming projects. Algorithms, Data Structures, and Problem Solving with C++ is the first CS2 textbook to clearly separate the interface and implementation of data structures. The interface and running time of data structures are presented first, and students have the opportunity to use the data structures in a host of practical examples before being introduced to the implementations. This unique approach enhances the students' ability to think abstractly.

Problems Solving in Data Structures and Algorithms Using C++

DESCRIPTION The book “Problem Solving in Data Structures and Algorithms Using C++" is designed to equip readers with a solid foundation in data structures and algorithms, essential for both academic study and technical interviews. It provides a solid foundation in the field, covering essential topics such as algorithm analysis, problem-solving techniques, abstract data types, sorting, searching, linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, heaps, hash tables, graphs, string algorithms, algorithm design techniques, and complexity theory. The book presents a clear and concise explanation of each topic, supported by illustrative examples and exercises. It progresses logically, starting with fundamental concepts and gradually building upon them to explore more advanced topics. The book emphasizes problem-solving skills, offering numerous practice problems and solutions to help readers prepare for coding interviews and competitive programming challenges. Each problem is accompanied by a structured approach and step-by-step solution, enhancing the reader's ability to tackle complex algorithmic problems efficiently. By the end of the book, readers will have a strong understanding of algorithms and data structures, enabling them to design efficient and scalable solutions for a wide range of programming problems.
