Algorithmic Thinking: Programming Logic Fundamentals
Algorithms and data structures are the essential building blocks for solving almost any computer engineering problem. You need a fundamental grasp of these techniques to help you understand how computers and programming languages work. In this course, you'll delve into topics such as recursion, stacks, searching, sorting, lists, binary trees, parsing and more. Learn to think like a computer scientist and take an engineering approach to solving complex problems. The course is programming language-agnostic and you can complete assignments in any language, such as Java, C# or Python.
Who Should Register
This course is for incoming ninth to 12th graders. To register, you must have at least three to six months of programming experience in any language and be highly comfortable and confident in that language. Be prepared to work at a fast pace.
