Features: The greatest feature of this book is that it first defines Abstract Data Types (ADTs) and then introduces various concepts and knowledge of data structures based on this foundation. This approach focuses the reader's attention not on the internal implementation of data structures but on their external functional interfaces and characteristics, enabling readers to learn how to use data structures provided by the Java language itself in a shorter period. The examples in this book only provide key statements while ignoring details, and the source code can be downloaded from http://web.engr.oregonstate.edu/~budd/books/jds/. This not only makes the book more concise and readable but also helps avoid readers' dependence on the book, fostering independent thinking and a hands-on learning habit, which is beneficial for understanding and mastering data structure knowledge. This book can be used as a teaching material for data structure courses in colleges and universities.
