To allow students to use, select, implement and analyse a range of common abstract data types and algorithms.

• Data Types, Abstract Data Types, Theory, implementations and uses of stacks, queues, lists, trees, graphs, hash tables, binary search trees. Constraints and Trade offs (time vs. space). • Criteria for algorithms. Recursive algorithms: Towers of Hanoi. Data processing algorithms: sorting and searching. Graph theoretic algorithms: traversal, shortest path. • Efficiency measures for time and space: rates of growth; asymptotic behaviour, big-O notation. Algorithm complexity classes (P, NP, NP-complete).
• New versions of algorithms, moral problems and dilemmas of updating an algorithm, moral responsibility of correctness. And understanding how to result ethical problems of algorithm and data structure development.
