Data Structures and the Java Collections Frameworks

"Instead of emphasizing the underlying mathematics to get programmers to build their own data structures, Collins enables them to manipulate existing structures in the Java Collections Library. This allows them to learn through coding rather than by doing proofs. 23 lab projects and hundreds of programming examples are integrated throughout the pages to build their intuition. The approach this book takes helps programmers quickly learn the concepts that underlie data structures."-- Provided by publisher Introduction to Java Object-oriented concepts Additional features of programming ad Java Analysis of algorithms The Java collections framework Recursion Array-based lists Linked lists Stacks and queues Binary trees Binary search trees Sorting Tree maps and tree sets Priority queues Hashing Graphs, trees and networks Additional features of the Java collections framework Mathematical background Choosing a data structure.
