Object-Oriented Design and Data Structures · Algorithms and Programming
Non-Linear Data Structures
Introduction to binary trees and hash maps. Students explore how these structures enable rapid data retrieval and hierarchical organization.
Key Questions
- 1How do hash collisions impact the performance of a data retrieval system?
- 2In what ways do tree structures mirror real-world organizational hierarchies?
- 3How does a balanced tree differ from an unbalanced one in terms of search speed?
