Accelerated coverage of programming techniques for students with experience equivalent to CS410 or CS 414. Covers basic algorithm analysis. Topics include basics of classes, inheritance, and data abstraction; linear data structures (vectors, lists, stacks and queues); trees and simple graphs; hash tables; sorting and searching; recursion; and basic graph traversal algorithms. Numerous labs and programming assignments build skills in planning, problem solving, and debugging: this is a hands on course. Prereq: CS 410 or CS 414 or equivalent.
