 M6: ADVANCE DATA STRUCTURE & PROBLEM-SOLVING USING C++
Learning outcome
1. Understand the concept of fundamental Data Structures (Linked-lists, Trees, Binary Search Trees (BST), AVL Trees,
Stacks, Queues, Priority Queues, and Hash-Tables and Skiplists).
2. Design and Analyze programming problem statements.
3. Ability to sensibly select appropriate data structures and algorithms and use it to design algorithms for a specific problem.
4. Ability to create novel solutions to small scale programming challenges involving data structures and recursion.
5. Apply and Handle operations like searching, insertion, deletion and traversing mechanism.
6. Ability to Analyze the algorithmic complexity of simple, non-recursive programs.
7. Ability to Evaluate simple inductive proofs and proofs by contradiction and reason about program correctness and
invariants.
