Course Description
This course introduces different ways of data storage on different storage media as arrays, linked lists, stack, tree, queue and record. It also introduces the file concept as a secondary storage device. A discussion of different storage media types is introduced. Examples of such media such as Disk drives and magnetic tapes are given. The different strategies of dealing with files such as sequential file organization, relative file organization and indexed sequential file organization are introduced as well. All the concepts are to be applied using a common programming language.
