Data Structures and Algorithms in C++: Make informed decisions with this practical guide to Data Structures and Algorithms in C++

Developers who are familiar with object-oriented programming know the importance of creating their own abstract data types. Explore the step-by-step process for creating your own ADTs in C++.

Key Features

Learn how to choose the best data structure based on your business requirements using an easy decision chart

See examples and get practice creating programs that use various types of data structures in C++

Follow a step-by-step approach to creating abstract data structures using structures, unions, and enumerated data types

Book DescriptionC++ developers with intermediate knowledge can expand their toolkit by learning and practicing more advanced topics such as creating your own abstract data structures (ADT).

To help in understanding the importance of choosing the right data structure for the right problem, this book provides a refresher on Big-O notation to help understand the time and space complexity of several different algorithms. This translates into run-time efficiency, and you will be able to choose the most efficient approach.

Reinforce your understanding of the various common algorithms used in code development. This book provides both code examples and explanations of some commonly used algorithms. Learners will use VS Code to develop code and follow along with examples in the book. In addition, each chapter provides some coding challenges. These include but are not limited to abstract data types, accessing data structure members, initializing data structures, choosing the right data structure, and working with functions and data structures.

By the end of this book, readers are expected to be able to implement an appropriate data structure based on the business requirements for their project. They will be confident in choosing the right structure and implementing all the necessary features for the code to be successful.What you will learn
