Prerequisite(s): ( CS162 )

Data Structures is an advanced course that builds upon the foundational knowledge acquired in earlier computer science courses. It delves into the design, implementation, and analysis of complex data structures and algorithms. Emphasizing practical applications, the course covers binary search trees, hash tables, graphs, and heaps, equipping students with the skills to manage and manipulate large sets of data efficiently. Students will also learn about memory management and algorithm efficiency, vital for developing optimized and scalable software. Through a combination of theoretical learning and hands-on projects, CS 260 prepares students for tackling real-world computational problems with advanced programming techniques.

This course may be taken 1 time for credit.
