Welcome to the first edition of Data Structures Using and Algorithms C++.A data structure is the logical or mathematical arrangement of data in memory. To be effective, data has to be organized in a manner that adds to the efficiency of an algorithm and also describe the relationships between these data items and the operations that can be performed on these items. The choice of appropriate data structures and algorithms forms the fundamental step in the design of an efficient program. Thus, a deep understanding of data structure concepts is essential for students who wish to work on the design and implementation of system software written in C++, an object-oriented programming language that has gained popularity in both academia and industry. Therefore, this book was developed to provide comprehensive and logical coverage of data structures like stacks, queues, linked lists, trees and graphs, which makes it an excellent choice for learning data structures. The objective of the book is to introduce the concepts of data structures and apply these concepts in real-life problem solving. Most of the examples presented resulted from student interaction in the classroom. This book utilizes a systematic approach wherein the design of each of the data structures is followed by algorithms of different operations that can be performed on them and the analysis of these algorithms in terms of their running times.
