In this second edition of his successful book, experienced teacher and author Mark Allen Weiss continues to refine and enhance his innovative approach to algorithms and data structures. Written for the advanced data structures course, this text highlights theoretical topics like abstract data types and the efficiency of algorithms, as well as performance and running time. Before covering algorithms and data structures, the author provides a brief introduction to C++ for programmers unfamiliar with the language. All of the source code will be available over the Internet. Dr. Weiss also distinguishes the book with his clear, friendly writing style, logical organization of topics, and extensive use of figures and examples that show the successive stages of an algorithm.

This product accompanies:
Weiss, Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis in C++, 3/E

All code has been updated and tested on multiple platforms and conforms to the ANSI standard.

Provides chapter on advanced structures and their implementation covering red black trees, top down splay trees, treaps, k-d trees, pairing heaps, and more.

Includes a chapter on algorithm and design techniques that covers greedy algorithms, divide and conquer algorithms, dynamic programming, randomized algorithms, and backtracking.

Mark Allen Weiss’ innovative approach to algorithms and data structures teaches the simultaneous development of sound analytical and programming skills for the advanced data structures course. Readers learn how to reduce time constraints and develop programs efficiently by analyzing the feasibility of an algorithm before it is coded.

The C++ language is brought up-to-date and simplified, and the Standard Template Library is now fully incorporated throughout the text. This Third Edition also features significantly revised coverage of lists, stacks, queues, and trees and an entire chapter dedicated to amortized analysis and advanced data structures such as the Fibonacci heap.

Known for its clear and friendly writing style, Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis in C++ is logically organized to cover advanced data structures topics from binary heaps to sorting to NP-completeness. Figures and examples illustrating successive stages of algorithms contribute to Weiss’ careful, rigorous and in-depth analysis of each type of algorithm.
