Publisher's Synopsis
Bringing together two facets of programming, object-orientation and data structures, this book emphasizes the complementary nature of these two areas and how this can lead to application programs which are simple to develop and maintain.;The book starts "backwards" with an introduction to C++ and proceeds to discuss VDM and formal specification in the development of data structures and programs. It continues with example data structures and the development of a section of a fairly large program to give the reader an overview of every state in the development of an object-oriented program. A diskette is included with the book, containing C++ class libraries, sample programs and exercises.
