一、課程說明(Course Description)
<br>This course introduces the basic concepts of data structures. A data structure is 
<br>a particular way of storing and organizing data in a computer so that the data can 
<br>be managed and used efficiently. Data structures are particular critical when 
<br>manipulating large amounts of data and they play an important role in developing 
<br>efficient algorithms to solve problems. In view of the importance of data 
<br>structures, modern programming languages, such as C++, emphasize data structures, 
<br>rather than procedures, as the key organizing factor in software design. Their 
<br>object-oriented approach to software development makes them very suitable for 
<br>studying data structures. In this course, we will use C++ as the vehicle to study 
<br>various data structures, including arrays, stacks, queues, linked list, trees, and 
<br>graphs.
