Abstract
This book presents data structure techniques in the context of object-oriented software development with the eventual implementation of algorithms in Ada 95. Object-oriented software development is a contemporary approach to the design of reliable and robust software. The complexity of the implementation of software systems is a combination of the complexity of the representations of information and the complexity of the algorithms that manipulate the representations.Data structuresis the study of methods of representing objects, the design of algorithms to manipulate the representations, the properencapsulationof objects in a reusable form, and theevaluationof the cost of the implementation, including the measurement of the complexity of the time and space requirements.
