<h2>Course Description</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p class=DS_P>
|
||||
This course covers fundamental data structures and their use in
|
||||
programming. This includes both class design and features of the C++
|
||||
programming language. Much of our discussion will be built around the
|
||||
design and use of the C++ standard library (STL). By using the
|
||||
standard library, students will be able to write reasonably
|
||||
sophisticated programs quickly.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Learning Outcomes</h2>
|
||||
|
||||

<h2>Prerequisites</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p class=DS_P>
|
||||
CSCI 1100 Computer Science I, equivalent university credit,
|
||||
or a 5 on the AP Computer Science A Exam is the required (as of Spring 2023)
|
||||
pre-requisite for this course. Here are the concepts that we assume
|
||||
you have learned prior to taking CSCI 1200 Data Structures:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul class=DS_UL>
|
||||
<li class=DS_LI><b>Programming:</b></li>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul class=DS_UL>
|
||||
<li class=DS_LI>Arithmetic expressions, if/else statements</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li class=DS_LI>Writing your own functions, including the following:</li>
|
||||
<ul class=DS_UL>
|
||||
<li class=DS_LI>Passing arguments to the function from the calling function</li>
|
||||
<li class=DS_LI>Reference variables (call by value vs. call by reference)</li>
|
||||
<li class=DS_LI>Returning a value from a function to the calling function</li>
|
||||
<li class=DS_LI>Scope and lifetime of variables, local vs. global variables</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<li class=DS_LI>One and two dimensional arrays and/or vectors</li>
|
||||
<li class=DS_LI><tt>while</tt> and <tt>for</tt> loops, including nested loops</li>
|
||||
<li class=DS_LI>Reading data from files, and writing data to files</li>
|
||||
<li class=DS_LI>Some basic understanding and use of classes</li>
|
||||
<ul class=DS_UL>
|
||||
<li class=DS_LI>Creating your own simple classes</li>
|
||||
<li class=DS_LI>Calling member functions</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<li class=DS_LI><b>Problem Solving:</b>
|
||||
Given a problem you should be able to design an algorithm or
|
||||
algorithms to solve the problem, and implement and debug an efficient
|
||||
solution. You should have written a number of programs of 100 lines
|
||||
or more consisting of several different functions. Some examples:
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<ul class=DS_UL>
|
||||
<li class=DS_LI>Count the number of times each letter appears in a file</li>
|
||||
<li class=DS_LI>Find the maximum value in an array or vector</li>
|
||||
<li class=DS_LI>Insert a new element into a sorted array in its correct place</li>
|
||||
<li class=DS_LI>Find the value closest to the average in a vector</li>
|
||||
<li class=DS_LI>Find the two closest values in a vector</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<li class=DS_LI><b>Algorithmic concepts:</b></li>
|
||||
You should have seen and have a basic understanding of the following
|
||||
concepts:
|
||||
|
||||
<ul class=DS_UL>
|
||||
<li class=DS_LI>Recursion</li>
|
||||
<li class=DS_LI>Run time analysis of algorithms (big O notation)</li>
|
||||
<li class=DS_LI>Elementary searching and sorting algorithms</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Programming Languages: C++ vs. Java vs. Python</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p class=DS_P>
|
||||
The language used in this course is C++ but you do not need to know
|
||||
C++ before taking this class.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p class=DS_P>
|
||||
The Computer Science I class at RPI is taught in the Python
|
||||
programming language. Transitioning a solid foundation in problem
|
||||
solving, computational thinking, and implementation to a new
|
||||
programming language is an important skill for all computer
|
||||
scientists. Once you are comfortable with your new programming
|
||||
environment (code editor, compiler/interpreter, reference material,
|
||||
etc.) you will soon be busily and productively coding again!
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p class=DS_P>
|
||||
Similarly, many students enter this course having studied Java in
|
||||
their high school AP Computer Science class. If you are a reasonably
|
||||
proficient Java programmer, you should easily adapt to the differences
|
||||
between the C++ and Java.

<h3>Warning</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p class=DS_P>
|
||||
This course moves at a rapid pace and will likely be substantially
|
||||
more difficult than your previous programming classes. The homework
|
||||
assignments are challenging and students should start the assignments
|
||||
as soon as they are posted, so there is plenty of time to ask the
|
||||
instructor and TAs questions on the <a href="https://submitty.cs.rpi.edu/courses/f23/csci1200/forum">Discussion Forum</a> and in office hours. <em>Students
|
||||
should not get behind at any point in the semester.</em> Students
|
||||
should work practice problems and study examples from lecture.
|
||||
Working with other students and working with tutors and TAs are both
|
||||
encouraged, but students need to be certain they understand the
|
||||
material and can do problems on their own.
