Advanced Vb Data Structures

by Mike McMillan

Most Visual Basic programmers have not been exposed to advanced data structures such as linked lists, queues, and trees. As a result, many of these programmers are unaware of the practical programming problems which can be solved using advanced data structures. Through detailed explanations and complete code samples, "Advanced Visual Basic Data Structures will provide programmers with the information necessary to take full advantage of advanced data structures when developing applications with Visual Basic. All of the following data structures are discussed in depth and complete code samples are Linked lists Stacks Queues Trees Heaps (Priority Queues) In order to provide an overall understanding of data structures, the idea that a properly defined abstract data type (which combines a data structure with a set of operations that can be performed on it) can be used throughout many different program modules is explained in the book. The building blocks of data structures, such as the array and the dynamic array, are also introduced in detail. This book is ideal for any Visual Basic programmer who wants to unlock the secrets to advanced data structures and incorporate them into day-to-day programming, thus gaining enormous problem solving skills.
