Data Abstraction and Problem Solving with Java


Book Description

The second edition, in Java, of the classic Walls and Mirrors approach to programming designs solutions to problems using both data abstraction (the walls) and recursion (the Mirrors).Data Abstraction and Problem Solving with Java: Walls and Mirrors, 2eprovides a focus on the important concepts of data abstraction and data structures in a way that beginning programmers find accessible. The first part of the book covers problem-solving techniques including a review of Java fundamentals, principles of programming and software engineering, recursion and data abstraction, and linked lists. Later chapters focus on problem solving with abstract data types including stacks, queues, algorithm efficiency and sorting, trees, and graphs. This edition contains enhanced material on OO implementation. MARKET: Readers searching for problem solving solutions through abstraction, algorithmic refinement, data structures and recursion.







Data Abstraction and Problem Solving with Java


Book Description

This work focuses on the important concepts of data abstraction and data structures. It also introduces students to java classes along with other basic concepts of object-oriented programming, including inheritance, polymorphism, interfaces and packages.




Data Abstraction and Problem Solving with Java


Book Description

Data Abstraction and Problem Solving in C++, and is now updated to the Java programming language. It uses the running theme of "Walls and Mirrors" to help make clear the challenging concepts of recursion (the mirrors) and data abstraction (the walls). Authors Carrano and Prichard cover key object-oriented concepts, including encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism. However, the focus of the book remains on data abstraction instead of simply Java syntax.




Data Abstraction and Problem Solving with Java: Walls and Mirrors


Book Description

This edition of Data Abstraction and Problem Solving with Java: Walls and Mirrors employs the analogies of Walls (data abstraction) and Mirrors (recursion) to teach Java programming design solutions, in a way that beginning students find accessible. The book has a student-friendly pedagogical approach that carefully accounts for the strengths and weaknesses of the Java language. With this book, students will gain a solid foundation in data abstraction, object-oriented programming, and other problem-solving techniques.

Data Abstraction and Problem Solving with C++


Book Description

This work provides novice and professional programmers with a bridge from traditional programming methods to the object-oriented techniques available in C++. It clearly explains encapsulation and C++ classes, which are then used throughout to implement abstract data types such as lists, stacks, queues, trees and tables. Inheritance, polymorphism, templates and operator overloading are explained both conceptually and through examples. The work offers early, extensive coverage of recursion and uses the technique through many examples and exercises. It sets out to provide a firm foundation in data abstraction, emphasizing the distinction between specifiation and implementation.




Data Structures and Problem Solving Using Java


Book Description

This text uses Java to teach data structures and algorithms from the perspective of abstract thinking and problem solving.




Data Abstraction & Problem Solving with C++


Book Description

For courses in C++ Data Structures Concepts of Data Structures and Abstraction for C++ Programmers The 7th Edition of Data Abstraction & Problem Solving with C++: Walls and Mirrors introduces fundamental computer science concepts related to the study of data structures. The text explores problem solving and the efficient access and manipulation of data and is intended for students who already have a basic understanding of programming, preferably in C++. The "walls and mirrors" mentioned in the title represent problem-solving techniques that appear throughout the text. Data abstraction hides the details of a module from the rest of the program, whereas recursion is a repetitive technique that solves a problem by solving smaller versions of the same problems, much as images in facing mirrors grow smaller with each reflection. Along with general changes to improve clarity and correctness, this edition features new notes, programming tips, examples, and programming problems, as well as C++11 and C++14 features-including safe memory management using smart pointers-and safe and secure coding techniques.
