Data abstraction and problem solving with java

Features:

• Provides a firm foundation in data abstraction (the walls), emphasizing the distinction between specification and implementation as the foundation for the object-oriented approach
  
• Offers extensive coverage of recursion (the mirrors) and uses the technique throughout many examples and exercises.
  
• Introduces analysis of algorithms and Big "O" notation.
  
• Provides an appendix covering basic Java syntax for those know a different language or who need a refresher
  
• Contains many pedagogical study aids such as programming pitfall warnings and self-tests with answers
  
• A proven approach, adapted from the best selling Data Abstraction and Problem Solving in C++
