Data Abstraction & Problem Solving with C++: Walls & Mirrors

By John Kelsey

Book Overview

KEY BENEFIT The Seventh Edition of Data Abstraction & Problem Solving with C++: Walls and Mirrors introduces fundamental computer science concepts related to the study of data structures. The text Explores problem solving and the efficient access and manipulation of data and is intended for readers who already have a basic understanding of C++. The "walls and mirrors" mentioned in the title represent problem-solving techniques that appear throughout the text. Data abstraction hides the details of a module from the rest of the program, whereas recursion is a repetitive technique that solves a problem by solving smaller versions of the same problems, much as images in facing mirrors grow smaller with each reflection. Along with general changes to improve clarity and correctness, this Seventh Edition includes new notes, programming tips, and sample problems. KEY TOPICS Data Abstraction: The Walls; Recursion: The Mirrors; Array-Based Implementations; Link-Based Implementations; Recursion as a Problem-Solving Technique; Stacks; Stack Implementations; Lists; List Implementations; Algorithm Efficiency; Sorting Algorithms and Their Efficiency; Sorted Lists and Their Implementations; Queues and Priority Queues; Queue Implementations; Trees; Tree Implementations; Heaps; Dictionaries and Their Implementations; Balanced Search Trees; Graphs; Processing Data in External Storage MARKET For anyone interested in Programming in C++.

Learn the basics

This book and all books from this Kodak Workshop series are very clear, concise, useful and valuable. To learn the basics and fundamentals for photography, read these books. In this digital era, some people might think they are outdated. They are not. The basics for serious photography is in these books, and that will never be outdated.

Good Book

I'd give it five stars if there were a few more pages with more exampes..., but this book very definetly gives you the basics of using filters to creare moods, and correct for unusual lighting you may encounter...or desire... If you want to move beyond the basics of point, click and hope, this will take you where you want to go!!!

Good tips -- loaded with ideas for beginners, intermediates

This book contained lots of useful tips and ways to make filters at home. Can save a lot of money by not buying the expensive filters and just making your own. Each technique was shown with photographs of the scene without the filter and then with the result of the technique. Each technique was described well, easy to follow and most came with diagrams.
