Introduction to Thursday

Today we will:

Learning objectives for 'data structures'

• Practice to use classes for expression
• Practice to use classes for type safety
• Understand difference between composition and aggregation
• Practice to use composition for a 'has-a' relationship

• Understand data structures

Learning objectives for 'Understand algorithms'

• Understand design by contract
• Understand algorithm names increase expressiveness of code
• Understand difference between if and assert in function writing

• Understand algorithms

Learning objectives for 'Understand optimisation'

• Understand misconceptions on optimisation
• Understand Amdahl's law
• Practice to determine the big-O profile of a function
• Practice to get a run-time speed profile

• Understand optimisation

We will be using our shared repository, the Programming Formalisms project, where we work on the main, develop and topic branches. We merge coding using Pull Requests with code reviews.
