Java Forum / General / March 2007Data Structures in Java......Any good Book ?
hi can anybody suggest me a good book for Data Strucutes in Java , because for topics like Collection Framework one should have good knowledge of Hash Tables And Link Lists etc .. > hi > can anybody suggest me a good book for Data Strucutes in Java , > because for topics like Collection Framework one should have good > knowledge of Hash Tables And Link Lists etc .. Actually, for data structures like Hash Tables And [sic] Linked Lists, Java provides implementations for you (HashMap, LinkedList respectively), so that you don't NEED to understand the underlying mechanics. Although, from an academic point of view, knowing the basis of how those work is a good thing. Knowing them in Java specifically isn't that much more valuable as knowing them at all. A good place to start: <http://www.google.com/search?q=algorithms+in+java> > hi > can anybody suggest me a good book for Data Strucutes in Java , > because for topics like Collection Framework one should have good > knowledge of Hash Tables And Link Lists etc .. Here's a good book: Data Structures using Java by Malik it costs 84.95 at Amazon. His book on data structures using c++ is good also, Data structures theory isn't too language-centered. > hi > can anybody suggest me a good book for Data Strucutes in Java , > because for topics like Collection Framework one should have good > knowledge of Hash Tables And Link Lists etc .. Data Structures With Java by John Hubbard and Anita Huray is pretty good. There's a review here: http://www.techbookreport.com/tbr0056.html  SignatureTechBookReport Java http://www.techbookreport.com/JavaIndex.html > hi > can anybody suggest me a good book for Data Strucutes in Java , Data structures are abstract and should best be discussed / taught in a language-neutral environment (at least use pseudo-code), since the same data structures can be implemented across many languages. Translating the pseudo-code into a real language (better two or three) helps you to better learn the abstract data structures. > because for topics like Collection Framework one should have good > knowledge of Hash Tables And Link Lists etc .. Two good books I can recommend: "Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs" by Edsger Dyjkstra "Data Structure Techniques" by Thomas Standish A good book on Algorithms would also be useful, since many of the algoritms that are discussed in algorithm books exist to manipulate data structures. I can recommend "Algorithms" by Robert Sedgewick. Cheers! Signature--------------------------------------------------------------------- Greg R. Broderick gregb+usenet200612@blackholio.dyndns.org A.

I can recommend "Algorithms" by Robert Sedgewick. I second both these recommendations. I learnt a lot from "Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs" and have continued to find Sedgewick useful throughout my programming career. I'd add one more recommendation for a book on algorithms: "Software Tools in Rascal" by Kernighan and Plauger. This is particularly good on designing code that's inherently fast and on designing interfaces to maximize code re-usability.
