ALGORITHMS AND DATA STRUCTURES
CSE2ALG
2019
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
This subject covers a range of important algorithms and data structures. Data structures for implementing containers are covered and include linear structures, tree structures and hash tables. Algorithms for insertion and deletion of elements, and algorithms for searching and sorting on these structures are covered where appropriate. Graphs and graph algorithms are also covered. Students will learn the construction and workings of the data structures and algorithms covered. They will learn to analyse the effectiveness of each data structure and algorithm for specific problems and categories of problems. Students will also implement in programs a wide range of the structures and algorithms covered.

Graduate capabilities & intended learning outcomes
01. Explain the overall objectives of the field of Algorithms and Data Structures
- Activities:
- Lectures and labs (Each lab is generally devoted to one major algorithm or data structure. It consists of a number of short questions, and a progamming question where the algorithm and data structure is aplied to solved a practical problem).
02. Identify and describe in detail a range of data structures, and searching and sorting algorithms particularly in the context of computing.
- Activities:
- Lectures and labs
03. Explain each algorithm or structure, implement them in Java, and analyse their efficiency in relation to real-world problems.
- Activities:
- Lectures and labs
04. Identify, describe and apply the most suitable technique to use, where there are multiple techniques that could be used.
- Activities:
- Lectures and labs
05. Identify a problem in application domains, and design and implement a solution (in Java) and evaluate its performance.
- Activities:
- The problem generally involve application domains that require large amounts of data storage and/or processing. Lectures and labs
