Description

Objective:

The course objective is to introduce the essentials of data structures using Java-focused data structures. Students will use Java to complete programming exercises and gain hands-on experience with object-oriented design, algorithms, trees, priority queues, text processing, memory management.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Design abstract data types
  • Analyze various algorithms using the Big-O notation
  • Explain and develop recursive algorithms
  • Explain how search and sorting algorithms work
  • Explain how stacks, queues and linked lists work
  • Explain how trees, hash tables and graphs work
  • Explain maps, graphs, and text processing
  • Explain memory management
  • Define object-oriented principles of design
