Java Collections: ADTs, Data Structures & Algorithms

Expand Post »
This book, which is written by David A. Wyatt and Deryck F. Brown is excellent for explaining some of the more complex aspects of data structures and gives plenty of examples of various different algorithms. It also explains a little bit of history behind some of things that are being explained to you. One example from this book is it's explanations of singly and doubly linked lists. Before I read it I had absolutely no comprehension of them at all. Eventually though I finally managed to understand the concepts.

It's probably more suited to beginners who are teaching themselves and those who are on the first year of some sort of Computer science course at university.

Re: Java Collections: ADTs, Data Structures & Algorithms

Does this book have real world stats on how well the different collections work? The book isn't on Safari bookshelf yet, otherwise I'd have a copy... :rolleyes:

My only reference for performance metrics is outdated (JDK 1.3 and JDK1.2.2):
