Description
The third edition of Java Software Structures embraces the enhancements of the latest version of Java (Java 6, as well as Java 5), where all structures and collections are based on generics. The framework of the text walks the reader through three main areas: conceptualization, explanation, and implementation, allowing for a consistent and coherent introduction to data structures. Readers learn how to develop high-quality software systems using well-designed collections and algorithms.

Lewis (Virginia Tech) and Chase (Radford U.) provide a third edition of their textbook on data structures and algorithms. The new edition features a basic reorganization of material intended to enhance topic flow, expanded coverage of algorithms, and other major changes. Case studies included in previous editions have been deleted to improve the flow of core topics, and are available as supplementary material on the Web. Additional topics include structures, queues, lists, recursion, searching and sorting, trees and binary search trees, graphs, hashing, and sets and maps. Appendices cover the Unified Modeling Language and object-oriented design. The textbook is an appropriate basis for the second course in a computing curriculum.
