      UE's Learning outcomes

      To understand how to efficiently solve problems of sorting and dictionnary management, thanks to adapted data structures. To be able to use them to solve a given problem.

      UE Content

      Advanced algorithms and data structures for the search, insertion and deletion of a data inside a set of data, as well as the sort of a set of data. Study of binary search trees, AVL trees, B-trees, hash tables, quicksort, optimal sorts. Study of the correctness of the algorithms, and of their complexity in the worst case and the average case.

      Project by group of two or three students on a problem to solve thanks to efficient algortihms and adequate data structures. Implementation of the proposed algorithms

      Prior experience

      Basic algorithmics and data structures
