Description
Programming techniques for creating efficient solutions to fundamental computer problems are developed using object classes and C++. Concepts of data structures are extended to include reusable program modules containing both information and algorithmic methods. Algorithms explored include those for searching, sorting, string processing and graphing. Introduction to complexity and efficiency analysis. The courses dual emphasis is the understanding of principal algorithmic problem-solving techniques and the application of these techniques using C++ object-oriented programming. Prerequisites: COM 202 and COM/MAT 306.
