Teach Data Structures in C++ with this hands-on, interactive zyBook with customizable zyLabs

Data Structures in C++ is suitable for a first course in data structures and algorithms, especially common in the first two years of a computing major.

  • Introduces the basics of algorithms and data structures, including sorting, runtime complexity, lists, stacks, queues, hash tables, trees, and graphs
  • Packed with over 1,000 learning questions and animations to help students master the material
  • C++ implementations of many data structures and algorithms are available throughout the book
  • Adopters have access to a test bank with questions for every chapter

We developed our “say, show, ask” pedagogy – minimal text, interactive animations, and embedded questions – to foster active learning that engages students.

What is a zyBook?


Data Structures in C++ is a web-native, interactive zyBook that helps students visualize concepts to learn faster and more effectively than with a traditional textbook. (Check out our research.)

Since 2012, over 1,700 academic institutions have adopted digital zyBooks to transform their STEM education.
