Algorithmic Thinking: Programming Logic Fundamentals
Algorithms and data structures are the essential building blocks for solving almost any computer engineering problem. You need a fundamental grasp of these techniques to help you understand how computers and programming languages work. In this course, you'll delve into topics such as recursion, stacks, searching, sorting, lists, binary trees, parsing and more. Learn to think like a computer scientist and take an engineering approach to solving complex problems. The course is programming language-agnostic and you can complete assignments in any language, such as Java, C# or Python.
What You'll Learn
- How to create and implement complex algorithms from scratch
- Techniques for using topics such as arrays, lists, stacks, queues, hash tables and binary trees
- How to quantify an algorithm in terms of speed (Big O notation) and memory
Who Should Register
This course is for incoming ninth to 12th graders. To enroll, you must have at least three months of programming experience in any language and be highly comfortable and confident in that language. Expect to work at a fast pace.
