5.3 CREDITS AND SUGGESTIONS FOR FURTHER READING

For a comprehensive presentation of the C++ container classes, see [42]. For a detailed discussion of the complexity and amortized complexity issues related to the C++ container classes, see Stroustrup [54, pp. 464–465]. For further insights into the Java Collections Framework, the reader is referred to the online tutorial at the Java Developer Connection [28]. For additional reading on the different sorting algorithms, such as the merge-sort and quick-sort mentioned in this chapter, the reader is referred to [46]. The material in Section 5.2.5 on stable sorting was first posted by the author at [44]. Regarding the fail -- fast property of the iterators in the Java Collections Framework, the reader may also like to see the note posted by the author at http://www.jguru.com [43].
