File Structures: An Object-Oriented Approach with C++is based on the best-selling File Structures, Second Edition. This book presents the study of file structures through an object-oriented approach allowing students and professionals to acquire the fundamental tools needed to design intelligent, cost-effective, and
appropriate solutions to file structure problems. Beginning with the presentation of the software and hardware characteristics that combine to make file structure design important to application
development, the book continues with a thorough treatment of the tools that support effective use of storing and retrieving imformation.
The book uses the hands-on work of constructing and running progarms as the center of the learning process in teaching design.
By following the many programming examples imcluded in the book and in the exercise sets, readers will gain a significant understanding of object-oriented techniques and will see how C++
can be an effective software development tool.
