Algorithms in Java

Organizing the data for processing is an essential step in the development of a computer program. For many applications, the choice of the proper data...

In this section, we review the primary low-level constructs that we use to store and process information in Java. All the data that we process...

Perhaps the most fundamental data structure is the array, which is defined as a primitive in Java and in most other programming languages. We have...

When our primary interest is to go through a collection of items sequentially, one by one, we can organize the items as a linked list—a...

Linked lists bring us into a world of computing that is markedly different from that of arrays and simple classes. With arrays and classes, we...

An advantage of linked lists over arrays is that linked lists gracefully grow and shrink during their lifetime. In particular, their maximum size does not...

In C and some other languages, the term string refers to a variablelength array of characters, defined by a starting point and by a string-termination...

Arrays, linked lists, and strings all provide simple ways to structure data sequentially. They provide a first level of abstraction that we can use to...
