Course description :This course enhances the programming skills of the students. It emphasizes the importance of information hiding and how to use abstraction in good program design. This course introduce the basic data structures and algorithm analysis which are to be used as tools in designing solutions to problems. This course includes: algorithm analysis and design where students will be able to estimate algorithms growth rates and describe it using big O notation. Data structures includes: lists and linked-lists, stacks, queues, priority queues, trees and its traversal, binary search trees, heaps, hash tables and graphs and graphs’ algorithms. Also, important sorting and searching algorithms will be discussed including: bubble sort, insertion sort, selection sort, merge sort, heap sort and radix sort, sequential search and binary search.
