Course Objectives The objective of this course is to teach students the notion of an abstract data type (ADT) which is central to the design and analysis of computer algorithms. This course introduces abstract data types, and presents algorithms and data structures for implementing several ADTs. It emphasizes the efficiency of algorithms as evaluated by asymptotic analysis of running time. The programming assignments will be given in the programming languages taught in SE 115 and/or SE116.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • will be able to analyze the loop structures of either recursive or non-recursive algorithms to express their asymptotic running times using big-Oh notation.
  • will be able to assess the relative advantages of using array or linked list implementations versus hashing in efficiently solving search problems with concurrent insertion, and/or deletions on collections of data.
  • will be able to develop efficient computer programs running in O (log n) per searching, insertion and/or deletion of data items by employing correct variants of tree data structures covered in the course.
  • will be able to select the right sorting algorithm for efficient applications requiring an order on data items.
  • will be able to describe the usage of various data structures.
  • will be able to explain the operations for maintaining common data structures.
  • will be able to devise appropriate data structures for solving specific computing problems.
  • will be able to use various graph algorithms to design solutions to simple computing problems.
Course Description Algorithm analysis, linear data structures, trees, hashing, priority queues, sorting, and graph algorithms.
