Since 1985 Nell Dale's texts have helped shape the way computer science is taught. Now she and Henry Walker, an accomplished instructor and author in his own right, are proposing a new focus for the junior/senior level data structures course. A timely response to the prevalence of object-oriented programming, this new text expands the focus of the advanced data structures course to examine not only the structure of a data object but also its type. This new focus gives students the opportunity to look at data objects from the point of view of both user and implementer.
Straight-line programs; While programs; Recursive programs; Computability in an abstract setting; Bibliography.
Contains explanations of what abstract data types are and how to specify them, and of the connection between abstract data types and program components. The book does assume a knowledge of Modula-2, although some of the difficulties of using opaque types are discussed before they are used.
This book presents a comprehensive catalogue of elementary data types like sets, maps, orders, trees and lists, written in Ada. Such data types are often used in systems programming. The major focus is on: - a uniform syntactic and semantic interface for all data types, - many implementation variants per data type, all ac cessible through a single interface, - a hierarchical system of the data types as a basis for data type selection and implementation. Meeting these goals is the main achievement of the book. The combination of efficient applicability and ease of learning and maintenance is achieved by the carefully elaborated interfaces of the catalogue's data types. These interfaces combin...
This book focuses exclusively on the data types of programming languages. It surveys the use of data types and examines in depth many of the issues related to them. Data types are explored by considering the wide variety of viewpoints used in many different programming languages including Ada, ALGOL 68, C, ML, Pascal, and PL/I. This book can be used as a text or a reference, and knowledge of programming languages is assumed.
Designed for C52 or Data Structures course using Ada. The movement away from Pascal as the introductory programming language and the re-emergence of Ada makes this text timely. Outstanding reviews of coverage of recursion, narrative, and style considered informative and motivating.
The only modern data structures book implemented in Ada, covers data structures first in terms of specifications, followed by implementation, then by performance issues. The organization moves from the more basic structures to the more advanced structures. The book contains examples coded in Ada and content specially tailored to the features and capabilities of the language.
