Data Structures and Generic Collections
• Data structures presentation. We begin with generic class ArrayList in Chapter 7. Our later data structures discussions (Chapters 16–21) provide a deeper treatment of generic collections—showing how to use the built-in collections of the Java API. We discuss recursion, which is important for implementing tree-like, data-structure classes. We discuss popular searching and sorting algorithms for manipulating the contents of collections, and provide a friendly introduction to Big O—a means of describing how hard an algorithm might have to work to solve a problem. We then show how to implement generic methods and classes, and custom generic data structures (this is intended for computer-science majors—most ...
