Notes

on-campus online D; off-campus online E; 200- and 300-level COMP units (excluding COMP 286) require a knowledge of, and programming experience with the C or C++ language. Any student who completed COMP 130 prior to 1995 should contact the School of Science and Technology for advice. It is recommended that students enrolled for 200-level and above COMP units have access to an IBM compatible computer running the Linux Operating System.

Combined Units COMP482 - Data Structures and Algorithms
Coordinator(s) Serge Bogeholz (sbogeho2@une.edu.au)
Unit Description

This unit introduces fundamental data structures, their implementation and use in efficient program solving in C++. Theory and implementation aspects are treated. Relations between the choice of structure and of algorithm are emphasised. Topics include: dynamic arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, graphs, hash tables, sorting and searching, recursive algorithms, and analysis of time complexity. COMP482 is based on COMP282 with additional load consisting of extra questions on an assignment and examination, and extra readings from the textbook- tree traversals, binary trees. COMP482 students are expected to show a greater level of understanding of the trees, binary trees and tree traversal.
