This course continues the study of computer programming using Java. Students must have mastered the topics in AP Computer Science A. This mastery is needed because this course is a study of classic data structures including linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, heaps, priority queues, and their application to algorithms such as solving puzzles and compressing data. Students will also be introduced to graph theory and extend their knowledge of recursive algorithms. Students will extend their knowledge and skills in object-oriented design with inheritance including the use of abstract classes and interfaces. Students will analyze the time efficiency of algorithms using Big O notation. Students must be strong problem solvers who can work independently because of the challenging nature of this college level course. Students in this course will receive the same weighted GPA as all AP Courses. This course can be used to satisfy the technology applications credit.
