Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book does an excellent job of intorducing the mechanics of Data structures. A very useful book to refresh one's knowledge about data structures and get a rigororus insight in the subject in preparation for advanced studies in the area of Data Structures.
Good book for an introductory University course in Data Structures. This bok has been successfully used (and is still being used) as a standard textbook in an intro course in Data Structures at UT Austin
Prerequisites: Atleast 1 introductory programming course in any high level language (preferrably C++). A decent knowledge of C++. (no need of OOP knowledge). Reader should be prepared to seriously study this book. This is a full blown ACADEMIC book, not a tutoorial

This new edition of Walls and Mirrors presents the important concepts of data abstraction and data structures using C++ as the language of implementation. The text formally introduces students to classes along with other basic concepts of object-oriented programming, including inheritance and virtual functions. The emphasis of the text, however, remains on abstract data types (ADTs), not on C++. Numerous examples of ADTs implemented as classes are examined including lists, stacks, queues, trees, heaps, graphs, and tables. The text covers recursion extensively, ensuring that students receive a firm grounding in this important topic.
