Data Structures and Abstractions with Java

By David Sussman

A relatable and friendly introduction to data structures and their implementation The 5th Edition of Data Structures and Abstractions with Java introduces readers to data structures (CS-2) in a supportive, reader-friendly way. The book's organization, sequencing, and pace of topic coverage make teaching and learning easier by: Focusing the reader's attention on one concept at a time Providing flexibility in the order in which one can cover topics Clearly separating the specification of each abstract data type (ADT) from its implementation Placing relevant coverage of Java into Java Interludes, which you can use as needed. To increase readability and learning potential, the numbered segments and modular presentation provide a flexible, customizable pathway through the material and focus the reader's attention on one concept at a time. Numerous examples that mimic real-world situations provide a context for the new material and help to make it easier for audiences to learn and retain abstract concepts. The 5th Edition has a revamped structure and additional pedagogical tools to assist in mastering concepts. This description may be from another edition of this product.

Good Work

Needed the book for class. Got it in a timely manner. Was in perfect condition.

Great Book!

I didn't appreciate this book until after I was finished with my class and had moved on to upper level programing classes at my University. I had an excellent teacher for the class and just never read the book. Now, in my new class, which we are using c++, we are working with more complicated and in depth use of the same concepts and algorithms that are in this book. I was rusty on working with it so I searched a gazillion...

Data Abstreaction w/Java Book

The book was in pretty decent shape other than a few pages in the index that were unbinding from the rest of the book. The writing in the book actually helps me understand things better when I can actually read it.

A good data structures book???

I've had to read parts of other data structures books, and they've all been terrible. With this book, for the first time, I felt that the author was successful in clearly demonstrating the topics at hand. The examples and text are very clear and easy to understand. My only issue is that it's shallow in some areas. For example, the Balanced Trees section covers 2-3 trees and 2-3-4 trees, but only glosses over AVL and Red-Black...

Very useful book

This was one of the best books in Computer Science. It is organized very well, made easy to understand. It is helpful to have have a book like this; I didn't need any help at all from my intructor to get the top grade. There's also many topics that you may want to keep for future reference. It's definately a good choice.
