Learning outcomes |
This curricular unit has as objectives:
- to acquire knowledge about algorithms, in particular recursive, sorting and searching algorithms, and hash tables;
- evaluation of the complexity of algorithms;
- to acquire knowledge about data strutures with sequential acess (linked lists, stacks, queues and jumps lists) and non-sequential acess (binary trees).
At the end of this curricular unit the student should be able
- to solve problems using C and he/she should understand the concepts studied;
- to developed skills on using algorithms, particularly in problems involving recursion, sorting and/or searching.
- to assess the efficiency of the algorithms by analyzing the technical complexity, in order to select the most efficient algorithms to solve any given problem.
- to idealize, schematize and implement data structures and their algorithms in order to solve problems.
