A formal, accessible approach to abstract data types, employing the Modula-2 computer language. Chapters follow a common format--the need for a particular abstract data type is considered, followed by the type's properties, the access procedure to manipulate it, the axioms which govern its behavior, and implementations. A wide variety of abstract data types are covered, supported by numerous Modula-2 algorithms. Code is written in a functional, recursive style.

Abstract Data Types in Standard ML Rachel Harrison University of Southampton, UK This book presents a thorough treatment of data abstraction within a functional framework. The approach to abstract data types strikes a balance between the theoretical and the practical, stressing the importance of producing reliable, high quality code which is robust and reusable. Exercises are provided, as well as numerous annotated algorithms in Standard ML. Emphasis is placed on the key concepts of specification, modularity and generality. Each chapter shows how to specify, apply and implement generic abstract data types, and the specifications are used to verify and validate the correctness of the implementations. Students of software engineering will find this book particularly attractive—for courses such as advanced programming, program design, algorithms and data structures, and program specification. It will also serve as a useful post-introductory text for courses on functional programming.

The Return

A group of friends reunite after one of them has returned from a mysterious two-year disappearance in this edgy and haunting debut. Julie is missing, and no one believes she will ever return—except Elise. Elise knows Julie better than anyone, and feels it in her bones that her best friend is out there and that one day Julie will come back. She’s right. Two years to the day that Julie went missing, she reappears with no memory of where she’s been or what happened to her. Along with Molly and Mae, their two close friends from college, the women decide to reunite at a remote inn. But the second Elise sees Julie, she knows something is wrong—she’s emaciated, with sallow skin and odd appetites. And as the weekend unfurls, it becomes impossible to deny that the Julie who vanished two years ago is not the same Julie who came back. But then who—or what—is she?
