Motivation behind the course :
Finding ways of translating the general idea given as an algorithm into the more specific instructions of whichever programming language(C++ in general).
Instructor :
Prof. A. A. Diwan
Course Content :
Implementation of, and experiments with, basic data structures and algorithms learnt in CS 213. Operations on data for different algorithms and problem domains; comparison of asymptotic complexity with real behaviour of algorithms;
Who will find it interesting :
Coding Enthusiast. It’s really fun(frustrating!) to come up with working implementations of the Algos you design.
.
Logistics
10 best out of 15 labs. An additional assignment(same weightage as lab) with one week deadline.
Difficulty level : ⅘.
Initial labs will be tough. Implementing(practicing) standard algorithms and data structures will be helpful.
