Unit 2.1 - Algorithms
- Computational Thinking
- Computational Thinking consists of the use of computers to
solve problems, developing algorithms to solve problems and
using abstraction, decomposition and algorithmic thinking
- Step 1 - Decomposition - Breaking down a large
problem into smaller sub-problems
- Step 2 - Abstraction - Removing irrelevant details
and info and using variables and symbols to
represent real world problems
- Step 3 - Pattern Recognition - Looking for
similarities between current and old problems
- Step 4 - Algorithmic Thinking - Identifying
the steps involved in solving a problem
- Computational Thinking consists of the use of computers to
solve problems, developing algorithms to solve problems and
using abstraction, decomposition and algorithmic thinking
- Linear Search - Each item in the list is
checked in order - Not Sorted
- Step 1 - Check the first value
- Step 2 - IF it is the value you're looking for -
celebrate and stop
- Step 3 - ELSE move on & check the next value
- Step 4 - Repeat until you have
checked all variables
- Step 1 - Check the first value
- Binary Search - An ordered list is divided
in 2 with each comparison - Sorted
- Step 1 - Take the middle value, compare
to value your looking for
- Step 2 - IF it is the value you're looking
for - celebrate & stop
- Step 3 - ELIF it is larger than the one you're looking for,
take the values to the left, ELIF it is smaller than the
value you're looking for, take the values to the right
- Step 4 - Repeat with the new list
- Step 1 - Take the middle value, compare
to value your looking for
- Bubble Sorting - Moving through a list repeatedly,
swapping elements that are not in order
- Step 1 - Take first two
elements from list
- Step 2 - Compare them
- Step 3 - IF element > Element 2,
swap them. ELSE - Do nothing
- Step 4 - Repeat: Move along the list to the next pair
until you have made no changes to the list
- Step 1 - Take first two
elements from list
- Merging Sort - Two lists are split into individual elements,
these lists are combined 2 elements at a time
- Step 1 - Split both lists into
individual elements
- Step 2 - Compare the first
element in both lists
- Step 3 - Put the smallest
in the new list
- Step 4 - Compare the next element of 1 list
with the second element of the 2nd list
- Step 5 - Put the smallest into the new list and repeat until merged
- Step 1 - Split both lists into
individual elements
- Insertion Sort - Each item is taken in turns, compared to
the items in a sorted list and but into the right order
- Step 1 - Compare the first element of the unsorted
list to each element of the sorted list
- Step 2 - If is smaller, put it in front of that element
- Step 3 - ELIF it is larger, compare with the next
- Step 4 - ELIF there are no
more elements in the sorted
list, put into final position
- Step 5 - Repeat until all
elements in the unsorted list
are in the sorted list
- Step 1 - Compare the first element of the unsorted
list to each element of the sorted list
