The course gives a solid knowledge of fundamental data structures and their accompanying algorithms. In practice, writing a working program is not good enough. If the program is to be run with large amounts of data then its efficiency, e.g. running time, becomes an issue. Therefore, techniques for estimating a program's usage of resources (e.g. time, space), prior coding, are discussed.

The course goals are described in the course plan

Lectures are given in English. Swedish and English may be used in the lessons and labs.

In this course, you need to complete the four sets of lab exercises. All labs are developed in C++ programming language.
