A continuation of CSCI 120<\/a> , with an emphasis on such topics as abstract data types, collections, and dynamic data structures such as linked lists, stacks, queues and binary trees. The usage and implementation of recursion is also discussed, as is the elementary analysis of algorithms. Approximately six programming projects are assigned as the laboratory component of the course. These projects entail the design and implementation of programs involving the topics mentioned above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
