Introduction to the Programming Unit

The Programming unit, KIT107, extends students' knowledge and experience of programming, introducing dynamic data structures, foundational collection abstract data types, and computational algorithms and techniques. Programming is undertaken in Python and Java, covering topics such as references, memory management, self-referential data structures, abstract data types, and their implementation, as well as an introduction to algorithm complexity.
