Combining a strong emphasis on problem solving and software design with the study of data structures, this book provides chapters on sets and maps, balanced binary search trees, and graphs.Although most readers will be familiar with C++, there is an extensive review chapter for those who need a refresher.The authors cover case studies that use the data structure to solve a significant problem while reinforcing the message of Think, then code--meaning, perform a thorough analysis of the problem and then carefully design a solution. «
