DOWNLOAD EBOOKDecker and Hirshfield's Working Classes applies the C++ programming language to the study of data structures and abstract data types. The authors organize their discussion of abstract data types according to their structural restrictions beginning with highly structured lists, stacks, and queues, and progressing through trees and directed graphs to unstructured sets. Chapter 10 examines the problem of regenerating text from a large sample, using a real computer/compiler system to demonstrate how time and space constraints arise from the choice of data structure. The book teaches by example (with more than 350 exercises provided), and most chapters conclude with an optional Explorations section that covers topics of special interest.
