2. Aims of the Course:

This course presents an introduction to data abstraction and object oriented design of data structures. This course aims to increase the proficiency of students in using the basic data structures of computer science, and to increase their knowledge in object-oriented design. The topics of this course include how to specify, design, implement, test, and use structured data types. These data types include collections, lists, stacks, queues, and trees. Several very important algorithms are also included that use these data types, including searching and sorting techniques.  This course presents a general knowledge of how to design, implement, and reuse code using object-oriented programming techniques. 

 
3. Catalog Description

 

Internal representation of data; object-oriented programming, recursion; polymorphism, inheritance and overloading; abstract data structures via pointer; stacks, queues, lists, trees, and graphs with applications.
