Author: Prichard, Janet

Condition: New

The Third Edition of Data Abstraction and Problem Solving with Java: Walls and Mirrors employs the analogies of Walls (data abstraction) and Mirrors (recursion) to teach Java programming design solutions, in a way that beginning students find accessible. The book has a student-friendly pedagogical approach that carefully accounts for the strengths and weaknesses of the Java language. With this book, students will gain a solid foundation in data abstraction, object-oriented programming, and other problem-solving techniques.

• The Classic Walls & Mirrors approach instills the use of both abstraction (the walls) and recursion (the mirrors) to design solutions to problems | Completely revised code to be compatible with the Java 6 platform | Early (chapter 1) and expanded review of the Java language | Concentrates on the core data abstraction and data structure topics | Contains examples that illustrate the role of classes and ADTs in the problem-solving process | Includes carefully designed, student-friendly pedagogy, including margin notes, key concept boxes, error and misconception warnings, and self-test exercises with answers | PowerPoint | Instructor
