Data Structures and Algorithms I (COMP20010)

This module is suitable for students interested in the design and analysis of efficient algorithms and data structures. In this module students learn how to analyse, design and implement a finite set of well-defined instructions for accomplishing some task (an algorithm) along with introductory ways of storing data in a computer so that it can be used efficiently (a data structure). A well-designed data structure or algorithm allows a variety of critical operations to be performed using as little resource, both execution time and memory space, as possible. Students will use an object-oriented paradigm as the framework of choice for building robust and reusable algorithmsand data structures in this module.
