What You’ll Find In This zyBook:
More action with less text.
- Pseudocode is used to teach essential data structures and algorithms, helping learners master the fundamental concepts
- Features Java-specific code examples throughout
- Over 55 auto-graded challenge activities are included to provide extra practice for students
- Adopters have access to a test bank with over 400 questions
The zyBooks Approach
Less text doesn’t mean less learning.
Studying data structures and algorithms often represents a person’s first study of the “science” of computing, beyond just programming. Mastery of these concepts is part of the foundation of the discipline of computing, leading to computing professionals as distinct from programmers.
Data structures is an extremely visual subject, forming an excellent match for the extensive use of animations that typifies a zyBook. Embedded learning questions help the reader understand and remember concepts.
The content is maximally modular to enable configuration by instructors. Instructors can rearrange sections, set sections as optional, add instructor’s notes to sections, and more.
