Introduction to programming, data structures, and algorithm design, using one or more modern imperative languages), as chosen by the instructor. Students will learn: basic programming constructs, data types, advanced and/or balanced search trees; hashing; asymptotic complexity analysis; standard algorithm design techniques; graph algorithms; sort algorithms; and other “classic’ algorithms that serve as examples of design techniques. Students will be given regular programming assignments. Pre-req: Undergraduate object oriented programming or CS 501.
