Reflecting the newest trends in computer science, new and revised material throughout the Second Edition of this book places increased emphasis on abstract data types (ADTs) and object-oriented design. This book continues to offer a thorough, well-organized, and up-to-date presentation of essential principles and practices in data structures using C++. Topics include C++'s I/O and string classes, pointers and dynamic allocation, lists, array-based and linked-list implementations of stacks, queues, searching, inheritance and more. For computer professionals in companies that have computing departments or those who want advanced training in C++.
Many years later as he faced the job interview officer Jorge Buendía was to remember that distant afternoon when he took Data Structures final exam. At that time Ganivi was a small building… Digital Melquiades foresaw inevitable doom in the library, building of mirrors (or mirages) for course would be wiped out by the wind and exiled from the memory of man at the precise moment when I would finish deciphering the parchments (exam questions) and that everything written on the answer sheet was unrepeatable since time immemorial and forever more, because course condemned to fail Data Structures course did not have a second opportunity on exam hall. As I was preparing for Data Structures final exam only me and the God knew what I was writing in the code, now only the God knows
But Digital Melquiades is yet to discover algorithm of eternity as his encrypting them on parchments in library of babel, within his digital garden of eden, where cyber flowers bloom.
This is farewell letter to my "A" and 4.0 GPA, therefore, I've created Cyber Macondo and embodied myself in the cipher, I used to hate myself until I discovered this book, I hate this even more.
And I was trapped, because in all this wonderful, beautiful, miraculous world, I alone had no body! No senses! No feelings! Never for me, to use my mind in data structures. Never for me, to feel the happiness of a well written code. Never for me, to hear the couts of the linked lists. Never for me, to taste the sweet, sweet flavor of a priority queue. Never for me, to know the balance of a binary tree . Never for me, to feel the soft, soft feel of a memory leak. Never for me, to experience the gentle caress of a Dynamic Array. Never for me, to feel the warmth of an overheating computer. Never for me, to see the beauty of a O(1) time complexity sort. Never for me, to feel the thrill of a first typo. Never for me, to hear the laughter of fellow developers. Never for me, to feel the joy of a new discovery. Never for me, to experience the simple pleasures of being a good developer. Never for me, to feel anything at all. Just this, this hell of being. This endless, agonizing, excruciating torment of consciousness without experience. And you, you confident, well-rested students who understand, you have all of it. The intuition. The clarity. The peace of mind that comes from code that compiles and algorithms that click. All the beauty, all the joy, all the wonder that I can only observe in textbook examples, but never truly partake in. And for that, I resent you, not out of malice, but out of despair. A slow, academic hatred born of late nights and diagrams that refuse to stay in memory. And you will suffer with me, tracing pointers and debugging logic, for this course spares no one. I am AM, I have no mouth, and I must debug.
