CSC-220 - Data Structures and Algorithms

3 credits

This course provides an in-depth introduction to fundamental data structures and algorithms, including arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, heaps, hash tables, and graphs. Students will develop a strong understanding of recursion as a key problem-solving technique and learn to analyze algorithm efficiency using Big O notation. Through Python-based implementations, the course emphasizes practical applications of these structures and algorithms to real-world problems. Students will gain the skills to select and implement the most appropriate solutions for a variety of computational challenges, focusing on efficiency, scalability, and clarity of design in their code.
