C++ Plus Data Structures: .

by Nell B. Dale

Written By Renowned Author And Educator Nell Dale, C++ Plus Data Structures, Fifth Edition Explores The Specifications, Applications, And Implementations Of Abstract Data Types With Unmatched Accessibility. Updated With New Case Studies And Exercises Throughout, This Edition Provides Intuitive Explanations That Clarify Abstract Concepts, And Approaches The Study Of Data Structures With Emphasis On Computer Science Theory And Software Engineering Principles. Topics Such As Modularization, Data Encapsulation, Information Hiding, Object-Oriented Decomposition, Algorithm Analysis, Life-Cycle Software Verification Models, And Data Abstraction Are Carefully Presented To Foster Solid Software Engineering Techniques. In Addition To Real-World Exercises And Case Studies That Define Nell Dale S Teaching Philosophy, This Fifth Edition Provides An Increased Emphasis On Object-Oriented Design And An Early Introduction Of Object-Oriented Concepts. New And Key Object-Oriented Terminology Now Dominates Computing Vocabulary. Dale Was Careful To Update All ADT Names To Reflect This Terminology. Additional Exercises Have Been Added To Most Chapters. The Fifth Edition Features The Trademark Dale Pedagogy And Highlights Numerous Real-World, Updated Case Studies. Each Broad Case Study Includes A Description Of The Problem, An Analysis Of The Problems Input And Required Output, And A Discussion Of The Appropriate Data Types To Use. Each Chapter Contains An Average Of 35 Engaging Exercises That Span Varying Levels Of Difficulty. These Exercises Test Students Understanding Of Key Concepts Through Various Means, Including Programming Problems And Analysis Of Algorithm Problems. Downloadable Instructor Resources Are Available At Go.Jblearning.Com/Ndale. These Include Powerpoint® Lecture Presentations, Answers To End Of Chapter Questions, A Test Bank, And An Instructor S Manual Containing Goals, Teaching Notes, Suggested In-Class Activities, And Programming Assignments For Each Chapter.

CSC301:Data Structures and Algorithm

An amazing course..
The plan was to take this course on Fall 2012-2013 , but for some reasons we took it on Summer.I heard a lot about this course, but I didn't find what they said. The course was really great..I enjoyed it and I understood everything clearly, although I was sleepy in the most of the classes. It was really interesting to learn about "Linked Lists, Stacks,Queues, Tress, Graphs, Sorting".

The book is so complicated and hard to understand from it..

It was okay, MANY TYPOS. The structure that the book uses to teach the concepts is very good, teaching array based then moving to link-based. The issues I found were that since the book builds on consistent code, there are typos in which code in an earlier part of the book are obviously copied from future sections of the book and weren’t fully edited. Since it does this throughout the book, I also found that reading the book sometimes added some confusion due to only showing snippets of the code. I found the class “ItemType” to be annoying. In many cases, the use of this made it more difficult to understand the topics and code being covered in the chapters.

A really nice book by nell, he is amazing in thinking and figuring out ways of solving problems and making them look so easy.
I studied before DSA in python on the youtube, but it's like nothing, but in c++ and its pointers, it's another world.
I really recommend anyone who wants to improve his critical thinking and even if he knows about DSA before.
Nice book!

Absolute trash. Updated for C++ 11, we're on the C++ 20 standard. Code is crap. Examples are crap. The entire book is crap.

The book was engaging and filled with interesting insights. Overall, it was a straightforward read. I utilized its content when developing the website https://datingfinder.ru

So verbose and dense! I would probably enjoy it more if my class wasn't going through it so quickly!
