Course Objective • Objective of Data Structures (CS250) was to teach ways of efficiently organizing and manipulating data in main memory. • In CIS256, 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 structure 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
Outline • Introduction to file management. • Fundamental File Processing Operations. • Managing Files of Records: Sequential and direct access. • Secondary Storage, physical storage devices: disks, tapes and CD-ROM. • System software: I/O system, file system, buffering. • File compression: Huffman code.
Outline • Reclaiming space in files: Internal sorting, binary searching, keysorting. • Indexing • Consequential processing and external sorting • Multilevel indexing and B trees • Indexed sequential files and B+ trees13. • Hashing
