Course overview
This course will teach students to leverage their object-oriented programming skills to use existing data structures and algorithms to solve problems. Students will apply object-oriented programming techniques including inheritance, polymorphism, the use of data structures, collection classes, selecting data structures and code quality practices refactoring. In this course they will be able to select the optimal data structure to manage data within their programs and use the right algorithms to use the data.
Course learning outcomes
- Design, implement, test and debug maintainable object-oriented computer programs
- Describe the fundamental data structures used in software development
- Analyse the performance of algorithms and data structures using complexity analysis and make informed decisions on when to use them
- Use collection class data structures and library algorithms to solve problems
- Apply good programming practices, specifically, coding style standards and source code documentation
