To learn and practice how to choose and use optimal data structures and algorithms to solve challenging problems. To introduce concepts of advanced data structures.

Indicative content includes:

• Applying the common abstract data types to applications.
• Rules of thumb for choosing among the options.
• Performance and efficiency characteristics of each type.
• More advanced data structures, e.g. hash tables, heaps, and balanced search trees.

trothwy

Equivalent to 40%. Uses key areas of theory or knowledge to meet the Learning Outcomes of the module. Is able to formulate an appropriate solution to accurately solve tasks and questions. Can identify individual aspects, but lacks an awareness of links between them and the wider contexts. Outputs can be understood, but lack structure and/or coherence.

rhagorol

Equivalent to the range 70%+. Assemble critically evaluated, relevent areas of knowledge and theory to constuct professional-level solutions to tasks and questions presented. Is able to cross-link themes and aspects to draw considered conclusions. Presents outputs in a cohesive, accurate, and efficient manner.

dda

Equivalent to the range 60%-69%. Is able to analyse a task or problem to decide which aspects of theory and knowledge to apply. Solutions are of a workable quality, demonstrating understanding of underlying principles. Major themes can be linked appropriately but may not be able to extend this to individual aspects. Outputs are readily understood, with an appropriate structure but may lack sophistication.

1. Evaluate and select appropriate data structures and algorithms to solve a given problem.

2. Evaluate algorithm-based solutions in terms of efficiency, both in terms of time and space.

3. Implement data structures and algorithms for problem-solving.

4. Describe the design and implementation of more advanced data structures.
