Have you ever muddled through a Java programming job knowing that if you only had sufficient time, you could find a more efficient way to complete the project? Java Algorithms contains dozens of highly practical and efficient routines ready for insertion into your programs.Author Scott Robert Ladd brings you lots of old friends in new clothes. The quicksort, a staple of C, Pascal, and other languages, appears here in Java, as do the Shell sort and other popular sorts. (The bubble sort, friend of high school computer-science students everywhere, is mercifully left out.) You'll also find math algorithms (including a cool polynomial class), GUI layout tools, data trees, serialization, compression, and other topics--all explained in text that's a pleasure to read. The author's writing strengths become most evident when he explains string-search algorithms. Ladd walks you through the behavior of his code step by step, making things clear without making you feel as if you are being spoken down to. All the code in the book appears on the companion CD-ROM, ready to be used piecemeal or included in programs as the coyote.* packages. --David Wall Book Description
With Java, as with cars, what really counts is the power under the hood. And nobody can help you uncork that power like algorithm guru Ladd. In the first book on Java algorithms, he reveals how Java can implement important data structures to create quick, efficient, professional applications and applets. From sorting and containers to harsh tables and file I/O, developers (especially those migrating from C++) will learn how to wring new levels of performance from Java. Synopsis
Algorithms are sets of instructions written within a programming language, and this is one of the first books available on Java algorithms. This title is excellent for migrating from C++ to Java. From the Back Cover
I've written several books about algorithm design, and this book/CD-ROM bring you my experience in the form of several Java packages. You can get good performance from Java; a well-written Java applet will outperform a poorly designed C++ program. That's what this book is all about.-The Author. Scott Robert Ladd is renowned for writing portable and efficient code in C and C++. Now he has translated his ideas into Java and delivers them to you in this innovative, easy-touse package. Whether you're already migrating from C++ to Java, or beginning to explore the possibilities, use this book and CD-ROM to: Get a quick handle on the code differences between Java and C/C++; Understand how Java implements key data structures and algorithms; Maximize Java's powerful array of tools for developing user interfaces; Create quick-full-featured, professional applications and applets; Speed up applet performance, which varies dramatically from platform to platform; Discover a star chart plotter Java application written by the author. Additional time-savers include complete applets and applications that demonstrate the packages developed by the author, as well as all of Ladd's compiled source code right on the CD-ROM.
