This subject introduces students to fundamental data structures and algorithms used in computing related courses. The material covered forms the basis for further studies in programming and software engineering in later subjects and for further training in programming skills. The subject focuses on the ideas of data abstraction and algorithm efficiency. The issues of computational complexity of algorithms are addressed throughout the semester. The topics covered include the fundamental abstract data types (lists, stacks, queues, trees, hash tables, graphs), recursion, complexity of algorithms, sorting and searching algorithms, binary search trees and graphs. As a subject designed for advanced computer science students, the students will conduct an advanced project on top of the assignment tasks for further training of their programming skills.
