Book Description
Clear coverage of best practices for data manipulation in Java.
Straightforward, readable approach to learning the basic formulas and approaches for manipulating data in Java.
The author provides an exclusive workshop tool offering a visual explanation of how Java data structures look and work.
Examples written for the latest version of Java JDK 1.4. Data Structures and Algorithms in Java, Second Edition is designed to be easy to read and understand although the topic itself can be quite complicated. Algorithms are the procedures that software programs use to manipulate data structures. Besides clear and simple example programs, the author includes a workshop as a small demonstration program executable on a web browser. The programs demonstrate in graphical form what data structures look like and how they operate. In the second edition, the program is rewritten to improve operation and clarify the algorithms, the example programs are revised to work with the latest version of the Java JDK, and questions and exercises will be added at the end of each chapter making the book more useful to readers.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   12 of 13 people found the following review helpful: Excellent Book, 28 Mar 2003 By  Thomas Paul (Plainview, NY USA) - See all my reviews       Just about every Computer Science program requires a course called "Data Structures and Algorithms". In order to become a programmer you must understand the information provided in this course. This book was written as a textbook for a "Data Structures and Algorithms" course and all the expected topics are covered; arrays, queues, stacks, linked lists, trees, hash tables, heaps, sorting, recursion, and searching. Whether you are a teacher looking for a text, a student who wants a better text than the required one, or just someone who wants to learn more about programming, this book is a very good choice. By using Java, all the complications of C++ are eliminated and the author's crystal clear explanations come shining through. And the author's explanations and examples are excellent. For example, the chapter on link lists explains what a linked list is, what problems it is supposed to solve and what problems it fails to solve, and then shows how to implement your own link list. The author provides a set of applets to visually illustrate the topics covered in the book. There are questions at the end of each chapter and answers are provided. This book is not going to explain the Collection classes or help you learn the API. What this book will do is help you get a deeper understanding of what data structures are, how they work, and what performance sacrifices must be made in order to achieve better overall performance in your programs.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
