Data Abstraction and Object-Oriented Data Structures

Joseph Bergin - - Pace University, New York

During the Fall of 1995, I will be teaching an object-oriented course in Data Structures using C++. This course (CS 241) will emphasize Data Abstraction as implemented using object-oriented techniques. The textbook is by myself:

For those students with an inadequate background in C++, I recommend either

Another excellent book, that will help any programmer develop a good C++ style is

The main text for the course is packaged with a library of programs. Later versions of these programs may be obtained below. Also, there are a number of Adobe/Aldus Persuasion presentations that the student may find helpful in understanding the material. These may be downloaded and played with the Persuasion Player on either the Macintosh or the IBM/PC under Microsoft Windows. This library is partially incomplete. Course instructors may obtain the complete library from McGraw-Hill.

I strongly recommend that the student use either Borland C++ or Turbo C++, version 4.0 or later on the IBM/PC, or CodeWarrior V6, or Symantec C++ V8 or later on the Macintosh. On Unix systems, GNU works well, though I won't be able to furnish executables for the full library for anything other than a DEC/Station unless you can give me a secure account on your own UNIX machine.
