  Data Structures and Other Objects Using C++, 3/E
  Main & Savitch

  ISBN-10: 032119716X | ISBN-13: 9780321197160
  Brief Description | Buy from myPearsonStore

  

  Data Structures and Other Objects Using C++ takes a gentle approach to the data structures course in C++. Providing an early, self-contained review of object-oriented programming and C++, this text gives students a firm grasp of key concepts and allows those experienced in another language to adjust easily. Flexible by design, professors have the option of emphasizing object-oriented programming, covering recursion and sorting early, or accelerating the pace of the course. Finally, a solid foundation in building and using abstract data types is also provided, along with an assortment of advanced topics such as B-trees for project building and graphs.
