15-111
Description:
An introduction to the process of program design and analysis using the Java programming
language for students with some prior programming experience (functions, loops, and arrays) in a
language other than Java. Topics to be covered include an overview of fundamental
programming concepts using Java as well as object-oriented programming techniques, data
aggregates, data structures (e.g., linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, and graphs), and an
introduction to the analysis of algorithms that operate on those data structures. This course, along
with 21-127, serves as a prerequisite for 15-211. NOTE: students who receive a grade of C or
less in 15-111 should discuss whether they are adequately prepared for 15-211 with their
academic advisor.
