An Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming in C++


Book Description

This book introduces the art of programming in C++. The topics covered range from simple C++ programmes to programme features such as classes, templates, and namespaces. Emphasis is placed on developing a good programming technique and demonstrating when and how to use the advanced features of C++. This revised and extended second edition includes: the Standard Template Library (STL), a major addition to the ANSI C++ standard; full coverage of all the major topics of C++, such as templates; and practical tools developed for object-oriented computer graphics programming. All code program files and exercises are ANSI C++ compatible and have been compiled on both Borland C++ v5.5 and GNU/Linux g++ v2.91 compilers. They are available from the author's web site.




Data Structures and Algorithms in Java


Book Description

The design and analysis of efficient data structures has long been recognized as a key component of the Computer Science curriculum. Goodrich, Tomassia and Goldwasser's approach to this classic topic is based on the object-oriented paradigm as the framework of choice for the design of data structures. For each ADT presented in the text, the authors provide an associated Java interface. Concrete data structures realizing the ADTs are provided as Java classes implementing the interfaces. The Java code implementing fundamental data structures in this book is organized in a single Java package, net.datastructures. This package forms a coherent library of data structures and algorithms in Java specifically designed for educational purposes in a way that is complimentary with the Java Collections Framework.
