Data Structures and Abstractions with Java, 3e,is ideal for one- or two-semester courses in data structures (CS-2) in the departments of Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Business, and Management Information Systems. This is the most student-friendly data structures text available that introduces ADTs in individual, brief chapters - each with pedagogical tools to help students master each concept.¿Using the latest features of Java, this unique object-oriented presentation makes a clear distinction between specification and implementation to simplify learning, while providing maximum classroom flexibility.
