This text provides a solid foundation in data structures with many Java examples, and outline programs for tutorial questions. The book is written for the Java 2 platform (as supported by JDK 1.2), as previous versions of Java had little inbuilt data structures, apart from the basic data types, such as numerical and character arrays. The book uses plain language in discussing key principles, and assumes only a small knowledge of programming, but not necessarily Java programming. The first part is a quick introduction to Java, and its essential components. A mathematical background is not assumed. Any mathematical concepts, such as set theory, will be well covered in an introductory section in the chapter in which they are used. This will help computing students who do not have a strong mathematical background. Many students struggle to understand how concepts are developed using a programming language, thus the text will give many practical Java examples.
