Data Structures and Algorithms (4cr)

Evaluation scale

1-5

Objective

Student can implement fundamental data structures and algorithms and compare their properties. Student can use different data structures, such as lists, sets, dictionaries, trees and hashing, and algorithms associated to them. Student can develop applications, which utilizes different kind of data structures and algorithms efficiently.

Materials

Information about the materials are in Moodle.

Teaching methods

Contact teaching and independent work.

Student workload

4 cu * 27 h/cu = 108 hours, of which around one third is contact teaching and two thirds independent work.
