Data Structures and Program Design in C++
This course explores the foundational principles of data organization and algorithmic problem-solving using C++. Students develop a deep understanding of core data structures including arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, hash tables, and graphs. Emphasis is placed on the design, analysis, and implementation of efficient algorithms to manipulate these structures.
Using C++ as the primary programming language, the course integrates object-oriented programming concepts with real-world problem-solving techniques. Topics include recursion, memory management (pointers and dynamic allocation), sorting and searching algorithms, and complexity analysis (Big O notation).
By the end of the course, students gain the skills to build scalable, modular, and maintainable code, laying a strong foundation for advanced programming and software development.
Skills Gained:
- Mastery of C++ syntax and structure
- Implementation of abstract data types (ADTs)
- Algorithm design and performance analysis
- Object-oriented programming practices
- Debugging and code optimization techniques
You'll get a comprehensive understanding of fundamental data structures and algorithms, practical C++ programming skills, and the ability to design efficient and robust software solutions.
