Synopsis

ICT232 Data Structures and Algorithms II will be a continuation to ICT231 Data Structures and Algorithms I and provide students with an understanding of more advanced common algorithms and data structures used in information technology. The topics covered are of central importance for many applications in data analytics and information technology. The course gives a comprehensive introduction to more advanced topics such as priority queues, hash tables, search trees, sorting and selection. Additionally, the course covers how such algorithms are implemented using the software Python. ICT232 will be paired with ICT231 so that students upon the completion of both courses will have a better understanding of the contents in the field of data structures and algorithms.
