CSE 373 Data Structures and Algorithms University of Washington Summer 2022 This course focuses on common data structures and algorithms. It integrates theoretical understanding with practical exercises, preparing students for software-related roles and industry technical interviews. Programming projects, unit testing, and source control techniques are emphasized.  In this course, you will gain a strong theoretical and conceptual understanding of common data structures and algorithms, as well as how to apply them within larger programming projects.

Specific topics we will cover include:

- **Data structures and ADTs**: lists, stacks, queues, sets, dictionaries, linked lists, arrays, trees, balanced trees, AVL trees, hash tables, priority queues, binary heaps, and disjoint sets.
- **Graphs and graph algorithms**: graph search, shortest path, and minimum spanning trees.
- **Algorithm analysis**: asymptotic analysis, and P and NP complexity classes.
- **Sorting** and divide-and-conquer.

This course is designed to have a practical component to help you gain basic familiarity with techniques used within industry. In particular, you’ll be asked to:

- Work on **programming projects** and integrate your work in an existing codebase.
- Learn how to use an **industrial-strength IDE**.
- Learn techniques for **checking correctness**: writing unit tests with JUnit, designing and checking invariants, etc.
- Learn how to collaborate on a single code base using **source control** repositories.

Finally, this course emphasizes the importance of making and justifying design decisions. Taken together, all of the above skills are chosen to set you up for success in a software-related role. In fact, this course is typically regarded as useful preparation for industry and technical interviews.

CS 61B: Data Structures UC Berkeley Fall 2022 CS 61B focuses on software efficiency from design and runtime perspectives. It covers object-oriented programming with Java, teaching data structures and various programming concepts. The course promotes hands-on learning with optional assignments. The CS 61 series is an introduction to Computer Science, with particular emphasis on software and machines from a programmer’s point of view. CS 61A covered high-level approaches to problem-solving, providing you with a variety of ways to organize solutions to programming problems as compositions of functions, collections of objects, or sets of rules. In CS 61B, we move to a somewhat more detailed (and to some extent, more basic) level of programming by focusing particularly on the efficiency of writing programs (design) and running programs (runtime).  This class assumes you have taken CS 61A, CS 88, or E 7, or have equivalent background to a student who has taken one of these courses. The course is largely built upon the assumption that you have taken CS 61A. CS 88 and E7 students may find the beginning of the course to be a bit scarier, particularly when it comes to object oriented programming. We assume you are coming in with zero Java experience, but we will move through basic Java syntax very quickly.

We recommend all students to complete the [optional introductory assignment](https://fa22.datastructur.es/materials/hw/hw0/) by the beginning of the semester to get comfortable with Java and practice some of the programming skills expected by this class.

If you already have Java experience, great! We hope that you’ll help out your fellow students in discussion, lab, and on our class forum, particularly in the opening weeks when everyone is catching up on Java. **There is no required textbook for the class.**

There is an online textbook written by myself and a large team of former TAs. It can be found at https://joshhug.gitbooks.io/hug61b. If you find these notes insufficient, you might consider consulting [Paul Hilfinger’s (free) Java Reference](http://www-inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~cs61b/fa14/book1/java.pdf) or [Head First Java, 2nd Edition by Sierra and Bates (O’Reilly, 2005)](https://www.google.com/search?q=head+first+java). These are not required for the course. The **optional** textbook for the weeks 5-14 of the course is Algorithms, 4th Edition by Wayne and Sedgewick.

The official description of the Java core language is available online in [The Java Language Specification](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se17/html/index.html) (Java SE 17 Edition) by James Gosling, Bill Joy, Guy Steele, Gilad Bracha, Alex Buckley, Daniel Smith, and Gavin Bierman. It’s extremely thorough and precise, at the expense of being quite dense and technical. You will find the official [Java 17 documentation](ttps://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/17/docs/api/index.html) to be useful as well
