File Structures (2nd Edition)

This bestselling book provides the conceptual tools to build file structures that can be quickly and efficiently accessed. It teaches good design judgment through an approach that puts the "hands-on" work of constructing and running programs at the center of the learning process. This third edition presents the practice of object-oriented design and programming with complete implementations in C++ of many of the file structures techniques, including direct access I/0, buffer packing and unpacking, indexing, consequential processing, B-trees, and external hashing. By following the examples, readers will gain a significant understanding of file structure techniques, and see how C++ can be made an effective software development tool. Every line of code in the book has been tested on a variety of C++ systems. In addition, the class definitions and bodies are collected together in appendices.Bill Zoellick is the author of 'File Structures (2nd Edition)', published 1991 under ISBN 9780201557138 and ISBN 0201557134.
