Upon successful completion of this course, students will:
• analyze and compare the efficiency of algorithms in terms
of their theoretical complexity
• use, develop and extend the data structures arrays, lists,
queues, stacks and trees and understand their applications
• apply the algorithms that will studied in this course to
unknown problems
• select and/or develop appropriate data structures and
algorithms for implementing abstract data types
• design and implement efficient solutions in complex
computational problems
• understand and implement sorting algorithms
• use various hashing techniques for data storage
• handle basic functions in priority queues
General Competences:
• Search for, analysis and synthesis of data and information
by the use of appropriate technologies
• Decision-making
• Individual/Independent work
• Algorithmic thinking
• Solve complex algorithmic problems

• The language of evaluation is Greek. The assessment
method consists of an intermediate written examination
(10%), three assignments (30%) and a final written
examination (60%). The intermediate and final
examinations include multiple choice questions, short
answer questions, and problem-solving questions. The
three assignments require the implementation of
algorithms in the C programming language.
• The above evaluation criteria are posted on the course
website.
