syllabus: Algorithms and Data Structures 1 [CM1035]

Algorithms and Data Structures 1 [CM1035] Course Description The study of algorithms and data structures is central to an undergraduate degree in computer science. This course will introduce you to your first algorithms and data structures, as well as the tools of abstraction required to help you decide which of these concepts to use. In this way you will not only enhance your box of problem solving tools, you will be able to critically compare, and assess the advantages and disadvantages, of these tools. The course starts at a basic level by describing problems and algorithms in computer science. It then goes on to introduce the tools for describing algorithms: flowcharts and pseudocode. You will then build on these basics to cover a wide range of topics: Abstract data structures such as vectors, queues and stacks. Implementation of abstract data structures with arrays and linked lists. Searching algorithms: Linear Search and Binary Search. Sorting algorithms: Bubble Sort,...

Introduction to Programming - Week 1 and 2 Summary

Image
What is programming? Commands are the smallest building blocks of your program. A single intruction to the computer to perform an action. A program is a collection of these individual ccommands put together in the right order to solve a problem, complete a task, or maybe interact with the user. The collection of commands you write for your program is called source code. 2D coordinate system * Computer screens are made up of tiny dots * Each one of these dots is called pixels * In p5.js we create an area of pixels on a webpage we can draw to: this is called the canvas * A canvas needs a width and height in pixels How you will be assessed?  * New topic every two weeks * This is your first topic (development environment) * Each topic will be divided into a series of lessons * In a lesson you will learn by watching videos * The game keeps a running total of your score which increases as you progress but fixed grades are taken at two points in the term. Each of...
