Course Description
This course couples work on program design, analysis, and verification
with an introduction to the study of data structures. Data structures
capture common ways in which to store and manipulate data, and they
are important in the construction of sophisticated computer
programs. We will use the Java programming language in class and for the
assignments.
Students will be expected to write several programs, ranging from very
short programs to more elaborate systems. Since one of our goals in
this course is to teach you how to write large, reliable programs
composed from reusable pieces, we will be emphasizing the development
of clear, modular programs that are easy to read, debug, verify,
analyze, and modify.
