The zyBooks version of the Data Structures & Algorithms in C++ provides a powerful interactive learning environment
Data Structures & Algorithms in C++ zyVersion contains the complete content of the authors’ object-oriented C++ data structures book, which is based on their market-leading data structure books in Java and Python.
- Offers a comprehensive introduction to data structures and algorithms, including their design, analysis, and implementation
- Includes over 50 interactive animations that enhance learning with step-by-step dynamic illustrations of algorithms, data structure operations, and other key concepts
- Includes over 150 question sets embedded throughout the book that provide immediate feedback to learners, plus over 750 end-of-chapter exercises
- Extensive C++ source code is consistent with modern C++/STL standards; the entire codebase is available online
Co-author Professor Michael Goldwasser demonstrates the power of an interactive approach to data structures:
What is a zyVersion?
zyVersions are leading print titles converted and adapted to zyBooks’ interactive learning platform, allowing for a quick and easy transition to an engaging digital experience for instructors and students.
zyBooks’ web-native content helps students visualize concepts to learn faster and more effectively than with a traditional textbook. (Check out our research.)
This zyVersion of Data Structures & Algorithms in C++Â benefits both students and instructors:
- Instructor benefits
- Customize your course by reorganizing existing content or adding your own
- Continuous publication model updates your course with the latest content and technologies
- Robust reporting gives you insight into students’ progress, reading and participation
- Animations and other interactive content can be shown in presentation mode and used during a lecture
- Student benefits
- Learning questions and other content serve as an interactive form of reading
- Instant feedback on homework
- Concepts come to life through extensive animations embedded into the interactive content
- Save chapters as PDFs to reference the material at any time
