+# Object-Oriented Programming and Advanced Data Structures
+
+### Data Structure
+
+- Why?
+ - Allows for organizing data, which in turn allows for efficient access to data
+- What?
+ - Various examples (list, stack, queue, tree, graph, etc.)
+
+### Abstract Data Type vs. Data Structure
+
+- In computer science, an **abstract data type (ADT)** is a mathematical model for data types
+ - a data type is defined by its behavior (semantics) from a **user POV** of the data
+ - specifically in terms of possible values, possible operations on data of this type, and the behavior of these operations
+ - examples: int, float, etc.
+- **Data Structure** is the representation of data from **implementer POV**
+

+
+## Introduction - Phases of Software Development
+
+### Software Phases
+
+- Specification of the task
+- Design of a solution
+- Implementation (coding) of the solution
+- Analysis of the solution
+ - Analyze time and space complexity
+- Testing and debugging
+ - This is arguably the most important phase
+- Maintenance and evolution of the system
+- Obsolescence
+
+### Implementation Phase
+
+1. Design
+ - Discuss Concept & Design Strategy
+ - Requirements Analysis
+ - System Architecture
+ - Roadmap
+2. Develop
+ - Technical Specification
+ - App Development
+3. Deliver
+ - Testing
+ - Delivery & Launch
+
+---
+
+## Testing the Code
+
+### Program Testing
+
+- Part of the science of software engineering is the systematic construction of **a set of *good* test inputs that is likely to discover errors**
+- GOOD test inputs have two properties:
+ - Positive verifications: you must know what output a correct program should produce for each test input
+ - Negative verifications: the test inputs should include those inputs that are most likely to cause errors
+
+### Testing Methods
+
+- Boundary Checking
+ - `int time_check(int hour);`
+- Fully Exercised Code
+ - Make sure that **each line of your code is executed at least once** by some of your test data
+ - If there is some part of your code that is sometimes skipped altogether, then make sure that **there is at least one test input that actually does skip this part** of your code
+
+### Testing Stages
+
+- Unit Testing
+- Integration Testing
+- System Testing
+- Acceptance Testing
+- Performance Testing
+- Security Testing
+- Usability Testing
+- Compatibility Testing
+
+### Example
+
+- write a test for
+
+```
+//prerequisite: N <= array1 length
+//prerequisite: N <= array2 length
+int *add_array(int *array1, int *array2, int N){
+ int i;
+
+ for(i = 0; i<N, i++){
+ array1[i] += array2[i];
+ }
+
+ return array1;
+}
+```
+
+1. Positive Verification: Two arrays with the same size, and N = the length of the arrays
+2. Negative Verification: Pass an N that will go out of the bounds of at least one of the arrays
+3. Positive Verification: Two arrays with different size, and N is less than the size of the smaller array
+

+
+## Standard Library
+
+### STL
+
+- **Standard Library** aids programmers in writing portable code that can be compiled and run with many different compilers on different machines
+- To use one of the library facilities, a program places an "include directive" at the top of the file that uses the facility
+ - For example, to use the usual C++ input/output facilities: `#include <iostream>`
+
+### Standard Name Space
+
+- **The Standard Namespace**
+ - All of the items in the new header files are part of a feature called the **standard namespace**, also called **std**
+ - When you use one of the new header files, your program should also have this statement after the include directives: `using namespace std;`
+ - Note: There are other alternatives that we will talk about later
