Understand algorithms and data structures: They are fundamental to programming.
This course will provide an introduction to algorithms and data structures, which are essential components of any programming language. You will learn how to design and implement algorithms and data structures to solve complex problems. The topics covered will include sorting, searching, graph algorithms, and data structures such as stacks, queues
Generic programming is a style of computer programming in which algorithms are written in terms of data types to-be-specified-later that are then instantiated when needed for specific types provided as parameters. This approach, pioneered in the programming language ML in 1973, permits writing common functions or data types that differ only in the set of types on which they operate when used, thus reducing duplicate code.
