The unit provides an in-depth study of the software construction process. Topics covered include modular programming constructs including encapsulation, information hiding, inheritance and polymorphism; the specification, modularisation and verification of abstract data types (ADTs); data structures including arrays, vectors, stacks, queues, lists, trees, sets, maps, hash tables and heaps; and algorithms including sort, search and recursion. For ADTs in general, the unit deals with operations, representation and algorithms, space and time efficiency, and appropriateness for different applications.
2. design new modules from existing library modules.
3. choose data structures appropriate to an application.
4. recognise and apply the principles of good software design.
5. construct efficient algorithms for small problems.
6. use such design constructs as dynamic data structures, recursive algorithms and abstract data types.
