Introduction to Data Structures C++ programming with New York University

Learn the advanced programming topics in the C++ programming language, including pointers, dynamic storage, recursion, searching, and sorting.

These topics build upon the learnings that are taught in the introductory-level Computer Science Fundamentals MicroBachelors program, offered by the same instructor.

This is a self-paced course that continues in the development of C++ programming skills. Among the topics covered is the development of more advanced command-line programs that utilize Pointers, Dynamic Storage, Recursion, Searching, Sorting to solve problems. Students learn how to use and program these data structures through the lectures and the labs. C++ programming material is presented over eight weeks of interactive lectures with quizzes to assess your understanding of the material Students will experience hands-on practice writing C++ programs through fourteen lab challenges.

Students will not only learn to use data structures to organize, manage, and storage in formats that enable efficient access and modification. A data structure is a collection of data values, the relationships among them, and the functions or operations that can be applied to the data.

What you’ll learn

1. Demonstrate a basic understanding of object-oriented programming by using structures and classes in software projects.
2. Use object-oriented programming techniques to develop executable programs that include elements such as inheritance and polymorphism.
3. Apply basic searching and sorting algorithms in software design.
4. Apply single-and multi-dimensional arrays in software.
5. Demonstrate a basic understanding of programming methodologies, including object oriented, structured, and procedural programming.
6. Design and develop programs that recursion to solve problems that can be expressed with recurrence.
