This guide is for students, professionals, and anyone interested in getting their feet wet or reviewing common topics from a typical Computer Science 2 (Intro to Data Structures and Algorithms) course, using the C++ programming language. Be forewarned - this is an informal treatment of the subject. It's not a gigantic tome of every possible CS 2 topic, or an exhaustive thesis on algorithm analysis or data structures. It has brief, straight to the point code with concise but clear explanations, some visual aids, and a couple jokes. In other words, your stuffy CS professor will hate it. All the more reason to buy it! Topics include unordered and ordered lists, stacks, queues, and sorting with a short review of exception handling.
