Here is a comprehensive treatment of data structures using the 1989 ANSI standard implementation of the C language. The author covers all basic and structured data types, including lists, strings, and abstract types. Examples come with completely dubugged source code and output results. A special section on data structures in an object-oriented environment using C++ is included. Special attention is paid to development of practical applications such as windows, databases, mathematical problems, and text editors. The use of the C language and treatment of object-oriented methods lays a solid foundation for software development in the professional environment of the future. Key Features * Covers the use of pointers and structures in C * Includes information on data structures in an object-oriented environment such as C++ * Discusses elementary data structures (stacks, queues, trees, files, and more) * Explores searching and sorting routines * Stresses the development of practical applications such as windows and databases * Full C source code and output is included for all examples * Numerous review questions and exercises accompany each chapter
