Course overview
This course enables students to leverage their object-oriented programming skills to use existing data structures and algorithms to solve problems. Students will be equipped to apply object-oriented programming techniques including inheritance, polymorphism, the use of data structures, collection classes, selecting data structures, and code quality practices refactoring. Through practical exercises students will have an opportunity to select the optimal data structure to manage data within their programs and use the right algorithms to use the data.
- Classes, Methods, and Properties
- Inheritance and Polymorphism
- Debugging, Refactoring and Coding Standards
- Arrays and Linked Lists
- Stacks and Queues
- Introduction to the C# Language and Environment
- Complexity Analysis
- Graphs and Applications
- Trees and Heaps
- Hash Tables
Course learning outcomes
- Design, implement, test, and debug maintainable object-oriented programs.
- Explain and apply the fundamental data structures (arrays, lists, stacks, queues, trees, heaps, hash tables, graphs) using built in libraries.
- Analyse the performance of simple algorithms and data structure operations using Big O notation, and make informed choices about trade-offs.
- Use C# collection classes and library algorithms to solve practical software problems.
- Apply coding standards, refactoring, and documentation practices to produce professional quality code.
- Demonstrate readiness for implementing data structures and algorithms in a lower-level language, including concepts of typing, memory awareness, and performance reasoning.
