Overview
Written for computer programming students, hobbyists or professionals, Lambert's FUNDAMENTALS OF PYTHON™: DATA STRUCTURES, 2E introduces object-oriented design and data structures using the popular Python™ programming language. The book presents a level of instruction that is ideal for readers with at least one semester of programming experience in an object-oriented language, such as Java™, C++ or Python™.
Step-by-step instruction and focused exercises clearly address the design of collection classes with polymorphism and inheritance and multiple implementations of collection interfaces. This edition also covers the analysis of the space/time tradeoffs of different collection implementations and, more specifically, array-based implementations and link-based implementations. This edition's thorough coverage of collections includes sets, lists, stacks, queues, trees, dictionaries and graphs. Trust FUNDAMENTALS OF PYTHON™: DATA STRUCTURES for the instruction in object-oriented design and data structures that your students need for success.
- NEW COLOR-CODING CLARIFIES PROGRAM EXAMPLES. All program examples in this edition are now color-coded to help your students quickly and easily identify the most important elements in the code.
- NEW LEARNING OBJECTIVES DIRECT ATTENTION TO KEY POINTS. Each chapter now begins with clear Learning Objectives to provide direction and guide readers in mastering specific skills.
- NEW FIGURES FURTHER CLARIFY CONCEPTS. New figures throughout this edition clearly illustrate concepts and enhance the reader's retention.
- ADDITIONAL AND REVISED PROGRAMMING PROJECTS PROVIDE MEANINGFUL HANDS-ON PRACTICE, Many of this edition's programming projects are new or reworked to reflect the industry's latest developments.
- NEW SECTIONS FOCUS ON ITERATORS AND HIGHER-ORDER FUNCTIONS. This new material is added to this edition to better prepare students to work with the full capabilities that Python™ can offer.
- NEW MATERIAL ADDRESSES LISP-LIKE LISTS, RECURSIVE LIST PROCESSING AND FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING. This edition now provides a new section that explores Lisp-like lists, recursive list processing and functional programming to strengthen students' skills in working with object-oriented design and data structures.
- COMPREHENSIVE COVERAGE EXAMINES THE DESIGN OF COLLECTION CLASSES WITH POLYMORPHISM AND INHERITANCE. Step-by-step instruction walks students through the design of collection classes with polymorphism and inheritance.
- THE AUTHOR CLEARLY INTRODUCES MULTIPLE IMPLEMENTATIONS OF COLLECTION INTERFACES. Students gain a solid understanding of key concepts, including the multiple implementations of collection interfaces.
- STUDENTS STUDY THE ANALYSIS OF THE SPACE/TIME TRADEOFFS OF DIFFERENT COLLECTION IMPLEMENTATIONS. This edition delves into the analysis of the space/time tradeoffs of different collection implementations and, specifically, array-based implementations and link-based implementations to provide the foundation students need.
