CSC 1120A - Data Structures and Graphical Interfaces

4 lecture hours 2 lab hours 4 credits
Course Description
This course covers graphical user interfaces and event-driven programming as well as the organization of data and the algorithms that act upon them. The “A” course provides additional student support with an additional meeting time each week. Various sorting algorithms and data structures are covered. The topics of arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, sets, and hash tables are introduced. Fundamentals of algorithm performance are also introduced, with an emphasis placed on time complexity analysis. Laboratory activities include implementation of data structures as well as development of GUI applications that apply data structures from standard libraries. Note: students may receive credit for only one of CSC 1120  and CSC 1120A. (prereq: CSC 1110  or CSC 1110A ) (quarter system prereqs: CS 1021)
