Contents
- Analysis of algorithms and data structures: design principles, complexity, asymptotic analysis
- Elementary data structures: lists, stacks, queues, sets, trees, maps, strings, graphs
- Elementary algorithms: searching, sorting, insertion, removal, transformation, and traversal
- Implementation variants: balanced search trees, hash sets, Huffman codes
- Polymorphic (generic) data structures: containers and iterators
- Advanced programming techniques, e.g. thread programming, Design Patterns
Qualification Goals
- Design of algorithms and data structures,
