Description
For the introductory Data Structures course (CS2) that typically follows a first course in programming.
This text continues to offer a thorough, well-organized, and up-to-date presentation of essential principles and practices in data structures using C++. Reflecting the newest trends in computer science, new and revised material throughout the Second Edition places increased emphasis on abstract data types (ADTs) and object-oriented design. \

New To This Edition
* New chapter with expanded and improved discussion of C++'s I/O and string classes.
* New chapter on searching-Including modified and expanded treatment of binary search trees and hash tables.
* Revised chapter on inheritance.
* Revised Chapter 1-Introduces other software engineering methods besides the waterfall model, introduces UML, describes top-down design and object-oriented design in detail, relates some of the 'horror stories' of bad software design.
* Expanded chapter on queues-Including array-based and linked-list implementations, and a revised simulation case study.
* Earlier presentation of lists (Ch. 3) -Before stacks and queues. Revised to include array-based (static and dynamic) list classes, an introduction to linked lists, and more standard symbols in diagrams.
* Earlier presentation of pointers and dynamic allocation-Including an expanded discussion of the new operator (Ch. 2)
* Marginal icons-Used to call attention to key features and warnings.
* Uniform method of displaying ADT specifications in a UML-style diagram.
* A new appendix 'From Java to C++'-Helps those making a transition from Java to C++.
* Array-based and linked-list implementations of stacks.
* Student CD-Contains all of the source code from the text.
