TEXTBOOK: | File Structures: an Object-Oriented Approach with C++,
Michael J. Folk, Bill Zoellick and Greg Riccardi, Addison-Wesley, 1998. |

OTHER BOOKS: |
You will need a C++ book. The textbook does not cover details
of C++ needed for assignments. One possible recommended book is: C++ Primer, S.B. Lippman and J. Lajoie, Addison-Wesley, 1998. |

COURSE OBJECTIVES: |
The objective of CSI 2114 (data structures course) was to teach ways of efficiently organizing and manipulating data in main memory. In CSI 2131, you will learn equivalent techniques for organization and manipulation of data in secondary storage. In the first part of the course, you will learn about "low level" aspects of file manipulation (basic file operations, secondary storage devices and system software). In the second part of the course, you will learn the most important high-level file structures tools (indexing, co-sequential processing, B trees, Hashing, etc). You will apply these concepts in the design of C++ programs for solving various file management problems. | ||||||||||

MARKING SCHEME: |
if (0.25*M + 0.45*F)/0.70 < 50% then G=(0.25*M + 0.45*F)/0.70 if (0.25*M + 0.45*F)/0.70>= 50% then G=0.25*M + 0.45*F + 0.30*A |
