CSC 1020 - Data Structures, I/O, and Graphical Interfaces4 lecture hours 2 lab hours 5 credits Course Description This course covers interfaces, exceptions, file input/output, graphical user interfaces and event-driven programming as well as the organization of data and the algorithms that act upon them. 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. Prereq: CSC 1010 or CSC 1110 (quarter system prereq: CS 1021) Note: Students may receive credit for only one of CSC 1020, CSC 1120 , and CSC 1120A . This course meets the following Raider Core CLO Requirement: None Course Learning Outcomes Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
