Carleton University School of Computer Science COMP 2402 / 2002 Data Structures 2013 Winter Preliminary course outline subject to change; last updated on Thu Jan 10 16:05:20 EST 2013
Introduction to the design and implementation of abstract data types and to the complexity analysis of data structures and algorithms. Topics include: complexity analysis, stacks, queues, lists, sets, dictionaries, sorting, trees and graphs. Special attention is given to abstraction, interface specification and hierarchical design using an object-oriented programming language (Java). We will also investigate the abstract data structures provided by the Java collection classes.
Topics Covered1. Program design and analysis
2. Java collections framework and classes3.Linked lists, Stacks, Queues, Deques4. Vectors, Lists, Sequences and Iterators5. Trees: general trees, binary trees, binary search trees, and AVL trees6. Hashtables, Sets, and Dictionaries7. Graphs 8. Sorting algorithms 9. Text processing (time permitting)
10. Data structures of data bases (time permitting)
PrerequisitesA grade of C- or better in Computer Science COMP 1006/1406. Textbook (s)Lectures will be based on various course notes and sources. Two books are suggested as recommended for the course. Material will be presented in class from both of these sources. Additional material will be posted on the course web site.

If you need help, please see a TA or your instructor. Posting assignment solutions on discussion boards before the due date and time is also prohibited. Undergraduate Academic AdvisorThe Undergraduate Advisor for the School of Computer Science is available in Room 5302C HP, by telephone at 520-2600, ext. 4364 or by email at undergraduate_advisor@scs.carleton.ca. The undergraduate advisor can assist with information about prerequisites and preclusions, course substitutions/equivalencies, understanding your academic audit and the remaining requirements for graduation. The undergraduate advisor will also refer students to appropriate resources such as the Science Student Success Centre, Learning Support Services and the Writing Tutorial Services. University PoliciesStudent Academic Integrity Policy Click here for the printable version of the COMP 2402 course outline
Every student should be familiar with the Carleton University student academic integrity policy. A student found in violation of academic integrity standards may be awarded penalties which range from a reprimand to receiving a grade of F in the course or even being expelled from the program or University. Some examples of offences are: plagiarism and unauthorized co-operation or collaboration. Information on this policy may be found in the Undergraduate Calendar. PlagiarismAs defined by Senate, "plagiarism is presenting, whether intentional or not, the ideas, expression of ideas or work of others as one's own". Such reported offences will be reviewed by the office of the Dean of Science. Unauthorized Co-operation or CollaborationSenate policy states that "to ensure fairness and equity in assessment of term work, students shall not co-operate or collaborate in the completion of an academic assignment, in whole or in part, when the instructor has indicated that the assignment is to be completed on an individual basis". Please refer to the course outline statement or the instructor concerning this issue. Academic Accommodations for Students with DisabilitiesThe Paul Menton Centre for Students with Disabilities (PMC) provides services to students with Learning Disabilities (LD), psychiatric/mental health disabilities, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), chronic medical conditions, and impairments in mobility, hearing, and vision. If you have a disability requiring academic accommodations in this course, please contact PMC at 613-520-6608 or pmc@carleton.ca for a formal evaluation. If you are already registered with the PMC, contact your PMC coordinator to send me your Letter of Accommodation at the beginning of the term, and no later than two weeks before the first in-class scheduled test or exam requiring accommodation (if applicable). After requesting accommodation from PMC, meet with me to ensure accommodation arrangements are made. Please consult the PMC website for the deadline to request accommodations for the formally-scheduled exam (if applicable) at http://www2.carleton.ca/pmc/new-and-current-students/dates-and-deadlines/ Religious ObligationWrite to me with any requests for academic accommodation during the first two weeks of class, or as soon as possible after the need for accommodation is known to exist. For more details visit the Equity Services website: http://www2.carleton.ca/equity/ Pregnancy ObligationWrite to me with any requests for academic accommodation during the first two weeks of class, or as soon as possible after the need for accommodation is known to exist. For more details visit the Equity Services website: http://www2.carleton.ca/equity/ Medical CertificateThe following is a link to the official medical certificate accepted by Carleton University for the deferral of final examinations or assignments in undergraduate courses.
