Published in the year 2008, Data Structures Through C++ (With CD ROM) is a book that provides the readers with in-depth insight into data structures using the C++ programming language. Summary Of The Book Data structures are a very important concept in the field of Computer Science. Data Structures can be used for storing, and organising huge amounts of data. There are many books in the market that cover the subject of data structures by means of the C programming language, however, very few utilize the C++ programming language. C++ is an object-oriented programming language that is basically an upgraded version of C, which Kanetkar uses for explaining data structure concepts. The chapters present in Data Structures Through C++ (With CD ROM) include Stacks, Linked Lists, Queues, Arrays, Strings, Analysis of Algorithms, MFC Collection Classes, Sparse Matrices, Trees, Graphs, and Searching and Sorting. Data Structures Through C++ (With CD ROM) comes with a CD-ROM that contains animations depicting the process of storing data in an array, binary tree construction, traversing through a doubly linked list, and much more. This helps the reader to understand important concepts even better. This book also has a number of figures that throw light on complex functions performed on data structures. In addition to covering simple topics of data structures such as linked lists, queues, and stacks, the readers are also given insight into advanced subjects such as sorting arrays, traversing linked lists, and constructing binary trees. Kanetkar has written this book in a clear, and concise manner, which helps the reader grasp basic as well as advanced aspects of the subject quickly.
