| Objective : | Objective: Through this course the student will Know about well-known data structures as those listed below. You will be able to implement these structures. • Be able to analyse algorithms with respect to efficiency • Determine which structures are appropriate in various situations • Be confident in learning new structures beyond what’s presented during this course • Even more important the fundamental knowledge of data structures transcends to any language or operating system. Twenty years from now you will still be using the data structures that you learn this semester. |
