Features: "Data Structures" is a fundamental theoretical basis for computer program design and an important foundational and core course for computer technology and application majors. It serves not only as a prerequisite for computer software courses but is also increasingly valued by other engineering majors. As one of the supplementary books for the "Higher Vocational and College Computer Series Planning Textbooks," this book primarily targets students of computer-related majors in higher vocational and college institutions. During the writing process, it strictly adheres to the teaching syllabus and is based on the designated textbook, fully reflecting the guiding principle of examining subject knowledge while emphasizing the assessment of abilities, particularly application skills. The book has the following features:
(1) The exposition of fundamental theoretical knowledge is presented from simple to complex and is easy to understand. The content organization and arrangement focus on application, omitting some theoretical derivations and mathematical proofs, and reducing the design and analysis of algorithms as well as complex time and space analysis.
(2) To help students understand the key points and difficulties of each chapter, this book includes a chapter-by-chapter learning guide at the beginning of each chapter.
(3) To assist students in mastering the key points and difficulties of each chapter, each chapter is accompanied by a content summary that lists important knowledge points and those often overlooked by students.
(4) To enable students to better consolidate and master the content of each chapter, each chapter includes synchronized exercises that cover all teaching syllabus content while appropriately highlighting key points.
(5) To facilitate students in checking their level of knowledge mastery, each chapter provides reference answers. The book focuses on introducing commonly used data structures, striving for clear concepts and emphasizing practical applications. The book is divided into 8 chapters, successively introducing the basic concepts of data structures, linear lists, stacks, queues, arrays, tree and graph structures, as well as basic operations such as searching and sorting. The book uses C language as the algorithm description language and includes typical application examples at the end of each chapter for teaching purposes. As one of the "Higher Vocational and College Computer Series Planning Textbooks (Supplementary Teaching Materials)," this book is convenient for teaching experiments, course design, and review and examination. It primarily targets students of computer-related majors in higher vocational and college institutions and can also serve as a selective course textbook for non-computer majors in universities or as a self-study reference book for computer application technicians.
