Prerequisite

Recommendations MAT 140 and one of CSC 155 or CSC 171

Course Description

Course provides a survey of data structures. Content includes elementary methods of complexity analysis applied to algorithms that manipulate dynamic and static data structures. Object-oriented programming techniques are utilized to implement lists, trees, tables, graphs and other classes using the C++ language. Algorithms focus on sorting and searching methods.

Course Objectives

A. Continue program development emphasizing modularity and abstract data types.
B. Utilize object-oriented programming skills to design maintainable classes.
C. Analyze algorithms to optimize memory and time complexity.
D. Implement a collection of data structures into a variety of applications.
E. Survey methods of sorting and searching.
