Data Structures with STL

• Learn data structures and the C++ Standard Template Library together!
• Teaches the advanced C++ features you need to know first
• Easy techniques based on real code examples
• Supercharge C++ code performance-and your own productivity!

Supercharge your C++ code! Master data structures and STL together!

When you understand data structures, you can command many of the most powerful, efficient algorithms ever created! Better yet, the C++ Standard Template Library bundles dozens of these advanced algorithms in a simple, reliable, easy-to-use form. Now, you can learn data structures and STL together, with the first book that teaches them both: Data Structures with STL!

Renowned programming instructors William Murray and Chris Pappas begin with the intermediate-to-advanced C++ features you'll need to know first, including namespaces, void * pointers, generic types, and template development. Then, using extensive code examples, they introduce every aspect of working with data structures and STL:

• Understanding STL extensible framework and components
• Working with STL: containers, iterators, and algorithms
• Dynamic memory allocation/deallocation
• STL-based portable solutions for array creation, element insertion/deletion, sorting, element output, and more
• Clean, seamless integration of iostreams and exception handling

Now's your chance to supercharge the performance and reliability of all your C++ code—and dramatically enhance your own productivity at the same time. Data Structures with STL shows you how-more simply and easily than you ever thought possible!
