C++ Plus Data Structures

by Nell B. Dale

Updated and reorganized, C Plus Plus, Plus Data Structures, Fourth Edition explores the specifications, applications, and implementations of abstract data types with unmatched accessibility. Written by renowned author and educator Nell Dale, this text 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 good software engineering techniques in students from the beginning of their careers. In addition to the meaningful exercises and case studies that define Nell Dale s teaching philosophy, this fourth edition provides an increased emphasis on object-oriented design and an early introduction of object-oriented concepts.

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!
