This book is a fast-paced introduction to using data structures with
Java. Numerous code samples and listings are included to support myriad
topics. The first chapter contains a quick introduction to Java, along
with Java code samples to check for leap years, find divisors of a
number, and work with arrays of strings. The second chapter introduces
recursion and usescode samples to check if a positive number is prime,
to find the prime divisors of a positive integer, to calculate the GCD
(greatest common divisor) and LCM (lowest common multiple) of a pair of
positive integers. The third chapter contains Java code samples
involving strings and arrays, such as finding binary substrings of a
number, checking if strings contain unique characters, counting bits in
a range of numbers, and how to compute XOR without using the XOR
function. Chapters 4 through 6 include Java code samples involving
search algorithms, concepts in linked lists, and tasks involving linked
lists. Finally, Chapter 7 discusses data structures called queues and
stacks, along with additional Java code samples.
FEATURES:
- Extensive topics, code samples, and scripts related to data structures
- Covers strings, arrays, queues, and stacks, linked lists, computing
the XOR function, checking for unique characters, and more
- Includes companion files with code samples from the book (available
for downloading from the publisher)
