Introduction
This unit extends the students' knowledge and experience of programming. It introduces dynamic data structures, foundational collection abstract data types, and computational algorithms and techniques. Programming is undertaken in Python and Java and topics include: references, memory management, self-referential data structures, abstract data types and their implementation, and an introduction to algorithm complexity.
