Covers algorithms and their performance analysis, data structures, abstraction, and encapsulation. Introduces stacks, queues, linked lists, trees, heaps, priority queues, and hash tables, and their ...

Define basic data types (vector, stack, queue, priority queue, map, list). Specify, design and test new classes using the principle of information hiding for the following data structures: array-based ...

Data structures generally trade ease of insertion and deletion for ease of addressability. You could, for instance, assign every position in a queue its own memory address: To find the fifth item ...
