A systematic study of data structures, including arrays, stacks, recursion, queues, linear and non-linear linked lists, binary trees, hashing, comparative study of searching and sorting algorithms, graphs, Huffman codes, introductory analysis of algorithms, introduction to the complexity of algorithms including big “O” notation, time and space requirements, and object-oriented design of abstract data types. Focus on object-oriented programming and its principles of objects, classes, encapsulation, inheritance and its relationship to the Java programming language. Includes hands-on laboratory experience reinforcing the lecture material.
