It covers the implementation and analysis of data structures for sequences lists , queues, priority queues, unordered dictionaries, ordered dictionaries, and graphs.
The author was motivated to offer undergraduate computer science a free way to study data structures. Instead, it should help programmers understand how STL data structures are implemented and why these implementations are efficient. Chapters cover array-based lists, linked lists, skiplists, hash tables, binary trees including random binary search trees, scapegoat trees, and red-black trees. Later chapters examine heaps, sorting algorithms comparison-based, counting sort, and radix sort , graphs, data structures for integers, and external memory searching.

You will finish the book not only being able to write your own code, but more importantly, you will be able to read other projects. This book is the first step in that progression. Next, you will be able to identify the main structures in the language, functions, and classes, and feel confident being able to identify the execution flow through the code. You will then become aware of the facilities of the standard library and be able to determine whether you need to write a routine yourself, or use an existing routine in the standard library.
You will understand memory usage, allocation, and access, and be able to write code that does not leak memory. Richard was awarded Microsoft MVP for 10 years He has a reputation for his deep understanding of the.
The book covers all the recent changes in technology including expanded material on the Standard Template Library STL. The book is divided into twenty-one chapter and the contents covered are:.
Chapter 1 covers Introduction to Computers and Programming. Chapter 15 covers Inheritance, Polymorphism, and Virtual Functions. Learning any programming language for the first time is difficult, which is why books alone may not be the solution.

Even when programmers have specialized in one area, the solution to a problem often lies in a field outside their area of expertise.
They are the tools of the trade and, as such, they need to be finely honed. I can still recall my first exposure to C programming. Until that time, all of my programming had been in Basic my first video game was written in it , Pascal, and Fortran.
I had heard of C; according to rumor, it was going to be the language to know. I was wrong. Write it in C. Hand it in on Wednesday. That was useful if I was interested in accessing process IDs or using shell commands, but not a great help if I wanted to know how to read a file or write a function. Somehow I managed to struggle through the assignment and to actually learn something while I did it. That was during my first job after graduation. Once again, I had before me a sink-or-swim proposition.
This time, I had access to a function reference that explained only the syntax of the language, not how to use it. I would have killed for the book that you are currently holding in your hands. As only one cog in the vast machine of effort involved, it is difficult for me to fully appreciate all of the hands that have touched this edition.
However, without the ambition and drive of my original co-author, Dirk Henkemans, this book would have remained an unrequited dream. His drive and perseverance taught me that seemingly impossible things, like writing a book, were not only possible, but readily attainable. I am deeply indebted to Keith Davenport, the technical editor, whose careful eye ensured all of the code in this book works as it should.
Jenny Davidson, the project and copy editor, was an exceptional resource throughout the project and her careful editing improved this work by orders of magnitude. I extend a special thank you to everyone else who played a role in preparing this book for publication, including Value Chain International, layout; Sara Gullion, proofreader; and Sharon Shock, indexer.
All of you played a big role in making this book what it is. Scott, you are our idol. Without you, who could we aspire to be?
