Koffman and Paul A. T. Wolfgang introduces data structures within the context of C++ programming. The authors integrate the design and implementation of data structures with sound software design principles, introduced early and reinforced by 20 case studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eData structures are presented in the C++ STL format whenever possible. Each new data structure is introduced by describing its interface in the STL. Following this, one or two simpler applications are discussed, then the data structure is implemented following the previously introduced interface. Additional advanced applications are covered in the case studies, which also utilise the STL.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the implementation of each data structure, the authors encourage students to conduct a thorough analysis of the design approach and expected performance before detailed design and implementation. Students gain an understanding of why different data structures are needed, the applications they are suited for, and the advantages and disadvantages of their possible implementations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCase studies follow a five-step process (problem specification, analysis, design, implementation, and testing) adapted to object-oriented programming. Students are encouraged to think critically about this process and use it in their problem solutions. Several problems include extensive discussions of testing and methods that automate the testing process. Some cases are revisited in later chapters with new solutions provided that utilise different data structures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe text assumes a first course in programming and is designed for courses in Data Structures or as the second course in programming, particularly those that cover OO design and algorithms. A C++ primer is provided for students who have taken a course in another programming language or for those needing a C++ review. More advanced C++ coverage is available in an appendix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCourse Hierarchy:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe course is the second course in the CS curriculum and is required for CS majors.
