Course contents
Intended learning outcomes
During this course we will teach you to:
- write structured programs in Python
- use abstraction as a tool to simplify programming
- write prototypes using Python
- select an appropriate algorithm for certain problems
- compare algorithms considering memory use or complexity
- describe the qualities and characteristics of different algorithm such as seek and sort
- propose and implement recursive algorithm
- model real problems such as seek problems and implement algorithm for depth/width/best-first seek
- describe elementary compression algorithm
- implement and use stacks and queues
- implement and use binary trees of different kinds
- use priority queues
- identify problems where the above mentioned data structures are useable
so that you will be able to:
- feel confident to solve programming problems
- use computer science methods in real world projects.

Examination and completion
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Grading scale
Examination
- LAB1 - Laboratory Work, 3.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
- TEN1 - Examination, 3.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
In this course all the regulations of the code of honor at the School of Computer science and Communication apply, see: http://www.kth.se/csc/student/hederskodex/1.17237?l=en_UK.
Other requirements for final grade
Laboratory work (LAB1; 3 university credits)
Examination (TEN1; 3 university credits)
Opportunity to complete the requirements via supplementary examination
Opportunity to raise an approved grade via renewed examination
Examiner
Ethical approach
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
