Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

Here's a uniquely "Java-centric" approach to using well-design abstract data types (ADTs) to simplify the development life cycle and create more readily reusable code. It is the only book that provides comprehensive and well-sequenced coverage of how to design, use, and implement such Java ADTs as: Arrays and Vectors; Hash Tables; Linked List; Stacks; Queues; Simple Trees; Binary Trees; 2-3-4 (Red-Black) Trees; B-Trees. Extensive examples, exercises, and chapter summaries make this timely guide equally appropriate as a classroom text or as an on-the-job learning tool for the applications as opposed to mere program smippets. A companion CD-ROM includes all of the book's source code examples, as well as the latest version of the Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.1.3, which includes all Java APIs. ABOOUT THE AUTHOR Michael S.
