Presents a catalog of simple solutions to commonly occurring design problems. These 23 patterns allow designers to create more reusable designs without having to rediscover the design solutions themselves. The authors begin by describing what patterns are, and how they can help you design object-oriented software.

Presents basic programming concepts and techniques. This book focuses on the representation of information inside a computer, the structural relationships between data elements, and how to deal with them efficiently. It gives elementary applications to simulation, numerical methods, symbolic computing, software and system design.

Presents a comprehensive survey of classical computer techniques for sorting and searching. This book considers both large and small databases and internal and external memories. It contains a selection of carefully checked computer methods, with a quantitative analysis of their efficiency, and also a section on optimum sorting.

Organized around 55 specific guidelines, each of which describes a way to write better C++, this book reflects on modern design considerations, including exceptions, design patterns, and multithreading. It also provides guidance on the design of effective classes, functions, templates, and inheritance hierarchies.

Providing information on C++'s Standard Template Library, this book shows you how to use it. It includes: advice on choosing among standard STL containers, nonstandard STL containers, and non-STL containers; techniques to maximize the efficiency of the STL and the programs that use it; insights into the behavior of iterators; and more.

Presents 35 ways to improve your programs and designs. This work explains how to write software that is more effective. It contains methods for improving program efficiency, including incisive examinations of the time/space costs of C++ language features; descriptions of advanced techniques used by C++ experts; and more.
