This Specialization covers object-oriented programming in C++, ordered data structures, and unordered data structures. Students will learn to implement and analyze a variety of data structures and algorithms.
Object-Oriented Data Structures in C++ is the first course in the Specialization, focusing on teaching learners how to write programs in C++. This module covers setting up a development environment for writing and debugging C++ code and implementing data structures as C++ classes.
Ordered Data Structures introduces new data structures for efficiently storing and retrieving ordered data. Topics covered include arrays, linked lists, queues, stacks, trees, binary trees, AVL trees, B-trees, and heaps. Learners will also gain an understanding of algorithm complexity analysis and how these data structures enable efficient search and data sorting algorithms.
Unordered Data Structures covers the implementation of hash tables, disjoint sets, and graphs. Learners will explore fundamental data structures useful for handling unordered data, including immediate access to data indexed by an arbitrary key value and representing relationships between items. The course also covers various graph representation methods and algorithms for traversing graphs and finding the shortest route between nodes.
