This classic book has been revised to further enhance its focus on data abstraction and data structures using C++. It provides a firm foundation in data abstraction, emphasizing the distinction between specification and implementation as the foundation for an object-oriented approach. The book's hallmark feature, its innovative 'Walls and Mirrors' approach to programming, continues to instill the use of both abstraction and recursion to design solutions to problems. The authors cover key object-oriented concepts, including encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism. However, the focus remains on data abstraction instead of simply C++ syntax. They also illustrate the role of classes and ADTs in the problem-solving process, and include major applications of ADTs, such as searching a flight map and event-driven simulation. The third edition features new coverage of C++ exceptions and C++ namespaces. In addition, this text reviews, in an appendix, basic C++ syntax for those who have previously studied the language or are making the transition to C++ from another language
