Syllabus

Calendar Entry:
This course introduces concepts and applications of basic data structures. Commonly used data structures, which include stacks and queues, trees, lists, arrays and graphs, will be discussed. Basic algorithms, both recursive and non-recursive, to manipulate these data structures will also be discussed. Basic object-oriented programming principles, which are abstraction, encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism, will be introduced. The practical work of the course will use an object-oriented programming language and corresponding data structure library. Students will be required to apply the data structures to solve practical and/or FinTech problems.
