Data Structures Algorithms

Current offering — AY2026/2027 Semester 1

This course aims to (i) teach the concepts, implementations and applications of data structures such as arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues and trees that are important for building efficient algorithms; (ii) provide an introduction to algorithm analysis and design. These are essential for future computer science and computer engineering courses.
