Curricular information is subject to change.

This module is suitable for students interested in understanding, designing, and analysing 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) and 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 various critical operations to be performed using minimal resources, both in terms of execution time and memory space.

About this Module

Learning Outcomes:

On completion of this module students should be able to:
- Understand how to determine the amount of resources (such as time and storage) necessary to execute a particular algorithm (algorithm analysis)
- Describe the object-oriented programming constructs needed to encode an algorithm
- Understand the structure, nature and use of fundamental data structures including, Arrays, Linked Lists, Stacks, Queues, Lists, Trees, Priority Queues
- Understand the object-oriented programming constructs needed to encode a data structure and its access algorithms
- Design programs using these constructs to solve large problems.
- Successfully write, compile, debug and run programs using these constructs.
