CSCI 104L: Data Structures and Object-Oriented Design
USC's flagship lower-division computer science course covering fundamental data structures, memory management, and object-oriented software design in C++. Topics include linear structures (arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues), non-linear structures (binary search trees, AVL trees, max/min heaps, hash tables, graphs), Big-O asymptotic analysis, recursion, sorting/searching algorithms, and C++ template classes. Students complete major multi-week programming assignments emphasizing code efficiency, object-oriented principles, and memory safety.
