Description

Version: 3.0 start 01 August 2021

Short description

 Students cover basic algorithms and data structures of computer science. They learn to solve algorithmically complex tasks, know the central data structures of computer science and how they are implemented in Python, and can estimate the computational effort of programs and apply basic design patterns.
