The second edition, in Java, of the classic Walls and Mirrors approach to programming designs solutions to problems using both data abstraction (the walls) and recursion (the Mirrors). Data Abstraction and Problem Solving with Java: Walls and Mirrors, 2e provides a focus on the important concepts of data abstraction and data structures in a way that beginning students find accessible. The book has a student-friendly pedagogical approach, that carefully accounts for the strengths and weaknesses of the Java language. This second edition includes more material on the Java language and increased focus on object-oriented programming ideas.

Product description

From the Back Cover

Data Structures/Java

Data Abstraction and Problem Solving with Java, 2/E

Frank M. Carrano, University of Rhode Island

Janet Prichard, Bryant University

ISBN: 0321304284

The Second Edition of Data Abstraction and Problem Solving with Java: Walls and Mirrors, presents fundamental problem-solving and object-oriented programming skills by focusing on data abstraction (the Walls) and recursion (the Mirrors). It is fully revised to use the latest version of the Java programming language (Java 5.0). Java 5.0 is particularly well suited for presenting object-oriented programming, and helps enhances this edition’s increased focus on object-oriented programming and data abstraction. Clear, accessible writing is complimented by a pedagogically rich presentation throughout this textbook.

The Second Edition includes:

  • Early and expanded attention to learning the Java language
  • Fully updated Java code and UML notation used for all psuedocode
  • Coverage of advances in Java 5.0 such as generic types, iterators, and the Java Collections Framework
  • Examples that illustrate the role of classes and ADTs in the problem-solving process

“This book stands out as one of the best data structures books I have ever seen. It offers fine coverage of data structures and problem-solving techniques, and presents material in an elegant way that students can easily understand.”

Eric Jiang, University of San Diego

"Data Abstraction and Problem Solving with Java: Walls and Mirrors is an effective tool for introducing students to systematic solution design and lucid programming style. Walls and Mirrors makes teaching simpler and learning easier through its clear explanation of concepts, elaborate illustrative examples, and wide-ranging selection of problems."

Sandip Sen, The University of Tulsa

“The strength of Data Abstraction and Problem Solving with Java: Walls and Mirrors lies in its systematic approach to developing problem solving and programming skills. It provides clear, effective coverage of the fundamentals of software development.”

Chakib Chraibi, Barry University

3.0 out of 5 stars Bought for a course

It covers basic concepts which may be useful for an absolute beginner but is longer than necessary. There is probably a better beginner book out there, and tons of free online resources. This was recommended by a professor for a second-year course, but I would not recommend it unless it's for the first or second coding course you take and a professor absolutely requires it.

Bought this for an intermediate java course. The book covers a fair amount of the topics that one might expect to learn in such a course, and the book does an okay job of explaining as well. If you have to buy this book for a course, they i would say to buy used, and then think about keeping it as it could be a valuable resource for some later time. If you are just looking for a good intermediate java book to learn more on your own, i would consider looking elsewhere. 3/5.
