CS 215 Data Structures Reflection
Due Wednesday Week 7
This assignment should be done individually. It is expected that you
think about your answers before writing.
- We have just finished studying heaps, search trees, hash
tables, and bloom filters. Imagine that you are given 15 minutes to
talk to students in COMP210 (Data Structures). In your own words,
write down what you would tell the COMP210 students to introduce
them to these structures. Think about the most important
things they would need to know about these structures and what they
might be used for. (Your answers here will be shared anonymously
with the comp210 students for feedback.)
- Of the data structures we just studied (heaps, search trees,
hash tables, bloom filters), which did you find most interesting?
What did you learn about these structures that was new? What
reinforced what you already knew? What piqued your interest to
learn more about? Would you feel more confident using one of these
new structures instead of an ArrayList if the application was
appropriate?
