File Structures : An Object-Oriented Approach With C++

Description file structures: an object-oriented approach with c++ presents the study of the structures through an object-orientedapproach allowing students and professionals to acquire thefundamental tools need to design intelligent, cost-effective, andappropriate solutions to file structure problems. This book usesthe hands-on work of constructing and running programs as thecentre of the learning process in teaching design. For sale in indiansubcontinent only presents file structures techniques, including direct access i/o, buffer packing and unpacking, indexing, consequential processing, b-trees, and external hashing. Includes extensive coverage of secondary storage devices, including disk, tape, and cd-rom. Covers practice of object-oriented design and programming with complete implementations in c++. Develops a collection of c++ classes that provide a framework for solving file structure problems. Includes class definitions, sample applications, and programming problems and exercises.
