Course Overview

It seems difficult for Java to deal with data in huge quantities. Various data algorithms and frameworks work together when applications exercise vast and real data sets. Data Structures and Performance is a Java course at an intermediate level which is recommended to the candidates who have an experience or familiar with computer science or software development. The programme focuses on establishing code which finishes the work effectively and efficiently by giving accurate results.

In this programme, the candidates would get an opportunity to analyze and utilize data structures that are applied in industry-level applications like hashtables, trees, and lists. The concepts will describe how the data framework makes programmes flexible and efficient. Through this course, the candidates can apply to Professional Certificates programs as well as multiple specializations. This course would be counted towards training in Object-Oriented Java Programming: Data Structures and Beyond Specialization and Object Oriented Programming in Java Specialization.

Eligibility Criteria

Work Experience

It is advised for candidates to have a prior experience in Java language or have worked in Software Development.

Education

Candidates applying for this programme should have a background in the field of Computer Science.

Certification Qualifying Details

Coursera will give a certificate of completion to only those candidates who firstly make fee payment as well as complete the entire programme within the stipulated time.

What you will learn

Knowledge of Data Sorting

After completing the Data Structures and Performance course, the candidates would learn to direct, reason, and operate vast sets of textual data.
The candidates would learn about Regular and Strings Expressions that would add functions as a text editor that can measure “readability”.
By learning the concept of “Big-O” notation, the candidates would analyze the program’s independence and efficiency of the system.
