the term data structures refers to the study of data and how to represent data objects within a program; that is, the implementation of structured relationships The shift in emphasis is representative of the move towards more abstraction in computer science education We now are interested in the study of the abstract properties of classes of data objects in addition to how the objects might be represented in a program Johannes J Martin put it succinctly: " depending on the point of view, a data object is characterized by its type (for the user) or by its structure (for the implementor)."[1] Three Levels of Abstraction The focus of this book is on abstract data types as viewed from three different perspectives: their specification, their application, and their implementation The specification perspective describes the logical or abstract level of data types, and is concerned with what the operations The application level, sometimes called the user level, is concerned with how the data type might be used to solve a problem, and is focused on why the operations do what they do The implementation level is where the operations are actually coded This level is concerned with the how questions Within this focus, we stress computer science theory and software engineering principles, including modularization, data encapsulation, information hiding, data abstraction, object-oriented decomposition, functional decomposition, the analysis of algorithms, and life-cycle software verification methods We feel strongly that these principles should be introduced to computer science students early in their education so that they learn to practice good software techniques from the beginning An understanding of theoretical concepts helps students put the new ideas they encounter into place, and practical advice allows them to apply what they have learned To teach these concepts to students who may not have completed many college-level mathematics courses, we consistently use intuitive explanations, even for topics that have a basis in mathematics, like the analysis of algorithms In all cases, our highest goal has been to make our explanations as readable and as easily understandable as possible [1]Johannes J Martin, Data Types and Data Structures, Prentice-Hall International Series in Computer Science, C A R Hoare, Series Editor, Prentice-Hall International, (UK), LTD, 1986, p Prerequisite Assumptions In this book, we assume that students are familiar with the following C++ constructs: Built-in simple data types Stream I/O as provided in Stream I/O as provided in Control structures while, do-while, for, if, and switch User-defined functions with value and reference parameters Built-in array types Class construct We have included sidebars within the text to refresh students' memory concerning some of the details of these topics Changes in the Third Edition The third edition incorporates the following changes: Object-oriented constructs moved forward: In the last five years, objectoriented programming has become part of the first-year curriculum, as demonstrated by its inclusion in all variations of the first year outlined in the Computing Curricula 2001 developed by the Joint Task Force of the IEEE Computer Society and the Association for Computing Machinery Accordingly, the class concept has moved into the first semester Because of this, we assume that students have had experience using classes, and we therefore moved much of the discussion of how to define and access classes to a sidebar We have kept a small discussion in the main text Many students have already seen inheritance and polymorphism, but the concepts are too important to move to a sidebar, so we have moved them from Chapter 6 to Chapter 2 More emphasis on object-oriented design: Object-oriented design is a hard topic for most students, because people usually think procedurally in their lives Because of this, we introduce a methodology with four phases: brainstorming, during which the possible objects in a problem are isolated; filtering, during which the set of possible objects are reexamined to look for duplicates and/or missing objects; scenarios, during which hand simulations of the processing take place asking "what if" questions and assigning responsibilities to classes; and responsibility algorithms, during which the algorithms for the classes are designed We use CRC cards to capture the results of the four-phase process The output from the scenarios phase is a CRC card for each class The CRC card lists the responsibilities of the class and any other classes with which the class must collaborate, hence the name CRC: class, responsibility, collaboration More practical emphasis on testing: The concept of a multipurpose test driver is introduced in Chapter 1 After a test plan has been designed, it is implemented as input to the test driver Throughout the rest of the book, this technique is used to test the ADTs The drivers, the input data, and the output data are available on the book's web site: ...
