Data Structures (Spring 2022)
CUHK
Enrollment is Closed
About This Course
The concept of abstract data types and the advantages of data abstraction are introduced. Various commonly used abstract data types including vector, list, stack, queue, tree, and set and their implementations using different data structures (array, pointer based structures, linked list, 2-3 tree, B-tree, etc.) will be discussed. Sample applications such as searching, sorting, etc. will also be used to illustrate the use of data abstraction in computer programming. Analysis of the performance of searching and sorting algorithms. Application of data structure principles.
Learning Objectives
- To understand the concepts and operations of various data structures and their applications
- To understand the concept of abstract data types
- To have basic knowledge of algorithms and complexity of algorithms
Learning Outcomes
- To be able to implement the following data structures as abstract data types in a high level programming lanauge: stack, queue, hash table, list, binary search tree (including AVL tree, red black tree and splay tree), B-tree, trie, disjoint set, graph (including minimum spanning tree and shortest path).
- To be able to use appropriate data structures in different applications.
- To be able to implement abstract data types.
- To be able to analyse the complexity of simple algorithms (such as searching and sorting).
