CST370: Week 1 (Week 52)

 This  week we eased into the material by reviewing fundamental data structures like (queues, stacks, linked lists). We also reviewed trees, graphs, and weighted/unweighted maps which I think will be a foundation for what's to come in this class. We had puzzles to solve as exercises which I feel is a good way of sharpening the skills that help us break down problems algorithmically. HW0 and HW1 were relatively straight forward and remind me of programming problems that I used to use as practice when preparing for interviews. I think that in the future a lot of these types of problems will be solved by AI but I think it's incredibly valuable for us, especially as computer scientists to have a strong foundation in solving these problems by hand.
