Subject:

Computer Science

School:

Computer Science & Informatics

Module Coordinator:

Mr Henry McLoughlin

This module follows on from Program Construction I and builds upon the knowledge and skills that have beeeb aqiured in it. Once again the core aim is to show how to calculate correct algorithms. We lay particular emphasis on constructing efficient solutions. We examine a collection of problems whose solutions exploit properties such as symmetry, monotonicity and operator distribution.

Outcomes

Having attended the lectures, studied the material and exercises you should be able to. Specify a range of programming problems. Calculate efficient programs to meet these specifications. Identify and exploit symmetry and monotonicity in problems.
