Course Objectives This course introduces the abstract concepts that are useful in problem solving, and shows how these concepts are implemented in a programming language. The students learn how to choose a suitable data structure for a specific problem, how to create more complex data structures using the already existing data types, and also how to implement and analyze the algorithms developed for these data structures. The students get a chance to apply their knowledge by completing assignments written in the C++ language.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Employ the data structure(s) necessary for a given problem
  • Use linked lists, stacks, queues, and binary trees
  • Apply recursion
  • Apply searching, sorting, and hashing algorithms/techniques
  • Identify the most appropriate data structure for the problem at hand
  • Construct complex data structures using existing data types
Course Content Stacks, recursion, queues; creation and destruction of dynamic variables, serial linked lists, circular lists, doubly linked lists, circular doubly linked lists; sorting and searching algorithms, space and time considerations, binary trees, binary search trees, tree traversal algorithms, binary tree sorting algorithms, hashing.
