This Course Covers, using JavaAbstract data types

Design, what you want them to do (OOD)Techniques, used in implementation (class)Example: integers, strings, lists, etc

Data structures Ways of organizing large quantities of data in

computer’s memory Vector lists, linked lists, trees, hash tables

Problem solving Solving problems in managing data structures Using data structures to solve real problems

2

THINK BIG:

how does Amazon keep track of inventory, customer reviews, suppliers?

how does Google keep track of web links?how does Google maps find the shortest route

between two cities?how does your email get sorted by name,

date, etc?

Java Collection Classes PERHAPS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT

changes to the Java environment over the past few years has been the introduction of a set of classes informally called the collection classes. This group of classes fills out java.util, bringing many commonly used data structures under one roof. For example, there is a Stack class. Unfortunately, there is no Queue.
