Description

Version: 12.0 start 01 August 2022
 

Short description

  • Students learn how to approach algorithmically complex problems and are familiarized with the central data structures of computer science and their implementation in Java. They are able to estimate computing effort.
  • They learn to apply basic design patterns.
