Program style organization and design with continued emphasis on the use of abstract data types and the object-oriented design paradigm. Comparative analysis of algorithms and data structures. Data structures include heaps, priority queues, binary and general trees, binary search trees, AVL trees, B-trees, and graphs. Algorithms include heapsort, topological sort, breadth-first search, depth-first search, shortest path algorithms, and Huffman coding. Students will gain experience working in a group on at least one moderate-size project.
The programming language used for this course is Java (version 1.4.2). The programming environment in the lab is NetBeans (Version 3.6), which can be downloaded for free.
There will be two mid-term exams and a comprehensive final exam. The exams will count for 70% of your grade. There will be about six programming assignments, which will be 30% of your grade. To pass the course, you must maintain a passing average on both the exams and the assignments. Students who miss the final and do not make alternative arrangements with me before I turn in the grades will be graded F.All of the above must be the student's own work. Plagiarism and academic cheating will be punished.
Attendance to all lectures, labs, and examinations are required.
