Summary

Written for an introductory course in data structures, this book shows students how to organize their data by using a list, a dictionary, a stack, a queue, and more. It provides instructors and students with a class-tested approach for teaching ADTs and objects with Java.

Data Structures and Abstractions with Java Summary

Data Structures and Abstractions with Java by Frank M. Carrano

For one-semester Introductory courses or two-semester courses in data structures (CS-2) in the departments of Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Business, and Management Information Systems.

This highly anticipated innovative book by two of the leading CS-1/CS-2 authors focuses the design specification and implementation of ADTs. This book was created from the ground up with objects and Java in mind and shows students how to use and implement key data organizations. Its unique object oriented presentation divides the material into short bite size segments that are organized into small chapters. This makes learning easier for the student and allows for teaching flexibility.

Data Structures and Abstractions with Java Reviews


Clear, clean presentation of the concepts. Very careful explanations for an often confusing topic. - Bob Holloway, University of Wisconsin




Technically, the writing is very Java savvy. It is very important that we exploit the neat Java features to improve code engineering. The text does that very nicely. - Bina Ramamurthy, SUNY Buffalo




Good class design is often elusive for students. I think that the way the authors emphasize class design with an eye toward future superclasses is an excellent approach. - Dennis Brylow, Purdue University
