Objectives

Reinforce programming skills. Basic data structures, algorithms and programming techniques. Introduction to complexity.

Learning outcomes and competences

The student should be able to write the code for fundamental data structures and implement efficient algorithms that manipulate them. Implement solutions with techniques such as recursion, backtracking and divide to conquer.

Working method

Presencial

Program

Basic introduction to Java. Programming techniques: recursion, backtracking and divide to conquer. Basic sequential data structures: array, list, stack, queue, deque. Introduction to complexity. Non-sequential data structures: binary search trees and maps.

Assessment Components

designation	Weight (%)
Exame	70,00
Teste	30,00
Total:	100,00

Eligibility for exams

At least 1.5 points, in a total of 6, for the 3 practical tests during the semester.

Calculation formula of final grade

Final grade (0-20) = (6*Tests + 14*Exam) / 100

(with "Tests" and "Exam" scored for 0-100)

Examinations or Special Assignments

3 practical tests during the semester
