Aim

Constructing program components which are easy to change, reusable and resource-aware requires good knowledge of advanced language constructs and programming techniques as well as data abstraction, data structures and algorithms. The aim of the course is to give students increased knowledge of object oriented programming techniques and a selection of fundamental algorithms and data structures and to give them the ability to understand and use APIs for classical data structures and algorithms in modern object oriented program libraries.

Contents

Object oriented concepts and language constructs such as interface, inner classes, exceptions and generics. Important general interfaces such as Iterator, ListIterator, Comparable and Comparator. Overview of graphical interfaces. Recursion as a technique to construct and implement algorithms. Common abstract data types: Set, Queue, Stack, List and Dictionary and their corresponding classes in the Java API. Data structures which can be used to implement common abstract data types as arrays, linked lists, trees and hash tables. Simple algorithms for efficient sorting. Introduction to techniques for analysing the time complexity of algorithms.

Examination details
