Course Description:

• This course presents the algorithmic, programming, and structuring techniques in the context of Java, an object-oriented language. In this course, we highlight the importance of inheritance in constructing various data structures, including stacks, queues, lists, trees, and graphs. This course also gives students significant chance to solve application-level problems from the view of data structures.
