Features *Contains extensive sample code using Java 1.2, which is available over the Internet. *Covers the Java Collections Library in an appendix. *Includes a chapter on algorithm and design techniques that covers greedy algorithms, divide-and-conquer algorithms, dynamic programming, *randomized algorithms, and backtracking. *Presents current topics and new data structures such as Fibonacci heaps, skew heaps, binomial queues, skip lists, and splay trees. *Offers a chapter on amortized analysis that examines the advanced data structures presented earlier in the book. *Provides a chapter on advanced data structures and their implementation, covering red-black trees, top-down splay trees, treaps, k-d trees, pairing heaps, and more.
