Læringsmål:The goal of the course is to give the student a basic understanding of advanced programming/algorithms, such that the student:

  • Can analyse time and space required for a program.

  • Solve the most common advanced programming/algorithm problems that occur when constructing software.

  • Has a solid base to understand technical courses.

  • Has a solid understanding of the basic principles in advanced programming, such as recursion.

  • Can solve more complex programming problems.

 
Fagligt indhold:The course takes its spring from different problems, which will be solved by using selected basic algorithm/advanced programming techniques. Subjects which we will look at are e.g.:

  • Methods to sort and search.
  • Methods to find a shortest path in a graph.
  • Methods to represent large data in a compact way.
  • Methods to analyse if a program is correct and how time/space efficient it is.
  • Methods to use recursion in programming.

This will include e.g.:

  • Stacks, queues, sequence, trees.
  • Priority queues, search trees, dictionary.
  • Sorting.
  • Graph algorithms.

We will also look at different tools to analyse programs, such as invariant to prove correctness, and asymptotic analysis to prove time and space needed for a program.
