<h2 id="course-content">Course Content</h2>
<ul>
<li>Algorithms: processes that operate on data</li>
<li>Programs: implementations of algorithms</li>
<li>Data in programs: stored in data structures
<ul>
<li>simple D.S.: variables</li>
<li>most algorithms required compound D.S.s: e.g. arrays, lists, …</li>
<li>most non-trivial applications require non-trivial D.S.s</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Data Type: collection of values + operations on these values</li>
<li>Multiple data types:
<ul>
<li>Cleaner/simpler slg. design</li>
<li>better code</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Abstract Data Type: defined by values + operations without reference to how things are implemented</li>
<li>ADTs provide an abstract view of data:
<ul>
<li>let us reason about algorithms at a high level, ignoring implementation details</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Good ADT choices reduce program complexity &amp; increase likelihood of success ( which is good).</li>
<li>a[i] vs. a(i)</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="we-will-look-at">We will look at:</h2>
<ul>
<li>fundamental ADTs</li>
<li>fundamental data structures (to implement them)</li>
<li>sorting algorithms</li>
<li>with attention to:
<ul>
<li>correctness</li>
<li>efficiency/speed</li>
<li>how to implement</li>
<li>how to choose (for an application)</li>
