This item has been replaced by Data Abstraction & Problem Solving with C++, 5/E.

This classic book has been revised to further enhance its focus on data abstraction and data structures using C++. In this new edition, the clarity of the C++ language is enhanced, along with coverage of the latest C++ features, including stronger use of the Standard Template Library. This edition continues with Frank Carrano's lucid writing style, widespread use of examples, and flexible coverage of important topics.

Provides extensive coverage of object-oriented programming techniques.

Features a strong introduction to, and continuous use of, data abstraction emphasizing the distinction between specification and implementation.

Focuses on core data structures instead of non-essential C++ language syntax.

Renowned for providing the best coverage of recursion available.

Introduces analysis of algorithms and the Big "O" notation.

Includes an appendix, "Basic C++ Syntax", for students who are making the transition from another language to C++.

Expanded use of the Standard Template Library (STL) with examples included in most chapters.

Enhanced text design for improved readability.

New exercises and programming projects added to increase students' opportunity to practice with key concepts.

All code tested to ensure compliance with ANSI C++ standards.

End-of-chapter material reorganized for greater accessibility.
