Course Aims and ,/2ectives!
The course is intended to give students an understanding of the data structure and the
algorithms used in C. It also aims to give a working knowledge of various abstract data
types and practically implementing them in practice. Some of the basic algorithms for
searching, sorting, dynamic and graphs often used by programmers are covered. By the
end of the course, the students will be expected to be familiar with these algorithms and
data structures.
Assessment !
The course comprises of assignmentsprogramming labs, !ui""es and oral presentation.
This will be as follows#
$ritten homework assignments, unannounced %ui""es, programming assignments
&'(. There will be ) programming assignments and these will be implemented in
C.
& Tests *'(

-ssignments will include both written exercises and programming labs. The
programming labs will be intended to build upon concepts covered in class. -ll
assignments must be submitted on time in order to receive maximum credit. .nless
specific exceptions are granted due to extenuating circumstances, a penalty will be
assessed for late assignments at the rate of */ points per day.
