Introduction to Java Programming and Data Structures Twelfth Edition
Revel and Print

Introduction to Java Programming and Data Structures Twelfth Edition by Y. Daniel Liang comes with two versions: digital and print. The digital version is called Revel for Java, which is identical to the print version. The Revel book has the built-in interactives for CodeAnimation, LiveExample, and AlgorithmAnimation. These interactives are very helpful for new students to learn programming. Instructors can assign auto-graded small exercises and projects.

Here are the key new features:

  1. Updated to Java 9, 10, and 11. Examples are improved and simplified by using the new features in Java 9, 10, 11.
  2. The GUI chapters are updated to JavaFX 11. The examples are revised. The user interfaces in the examples and exercises are now resizable and displayed in the center of the window.
  3. More examples and exercises in the data structures chapters use Lambda expressions to simplify coding.
  4. Both Comparable and Comparator are used to compare elements in Heap, PriorityQueue, BST, and AVLTree. This is consistent with the Java API and is more useful and flexible.
  5. Use intuitive and consistent naming for CodeAnimation and LiveExample. A listing is titled CodeAnimation if it is a code animation. A listing is titled LiveExample if it is a LiveExample.
  6. Students can fill in the missing code in LiveExample. This helps students practice coding and gain a deeper understanding of the example.
  7. The CheckPoint questions and Quizzes are inline at the end of a section.
  8. More assignable programming exercises are created.
  9. A computer-generated voice is used for code animation, check point, word match, and multiple-choice questions.
  10. VideoNotes are updated.
  11. Provided additional exercises not printed in the book. These exercises are available for instructors only.

The following table shows the correlation of the changes to the previous edition.
