CSE143: Computer Programming II

Credits
5
Catalog description
Continuation of 142. Concepts of data abstraction and encapsulation including stacks, queues, linked lists, binary trees, recursion, instruction to complexity and use of predefined collection classes.
Prerequisites
CSE 142.
Textbook(s) and/or other required material
Building Java Programs, Addison Wesley, Stuart Reges and Marty Stepp Lecture notes on advanced topics
Course objectives
Students learn about data abstraction and the basic design principles of object oriented programming. Students will become familiar with standard data abstractions (lists, maps, sets, stacks, queues) as well as a variety of implementation techniques (arrays, linked lists, binary trees). Students will learn to program using recursion and recursive backtracking. Students will learn the object-oriented constructs that support code reuse (encapsulation, interfaces, inheritance, abstract classes) as well as learning how to make use of off-the-shelf components from libraries like the Java Collections Framework.
Topics covered
Abstract data types: stacks, queues, lists, maps, sets Implementing linked structures (linked lists, binary trees) Recursion and recursive backtracking Using off-the-shelf components (e.g., Java Collections Framework) Use of inheritance for additive change and factoring out common code into abstract classes Class design: encapsulation, documentation, throwing exceptions, appropriate choice of fields Thorough testing and debugging Time and space complexity Efficient sorting and searching algorithms (binary search, mergesort) Iterator use and implementation
Course structure
3 50-minute lectures per week 2 50-minute quiz sections per week Weekly projects to be completed outside of class
