GCSE Computer Science: Algorithms
  1. Representing Algs
    1. Pseudocode
      1. Flowcharts
        1. Inputs Processes Outputs
          1. Sequence Selection Iteration
          2. Efficiency
            1. One problem -> many algorithms
              1. eg Bubble Merge Quick sorts
              2. Time
                1. Different algs give same result
                  1. Fast or slow?
              3. Searching Algs
                1. Linear
                  1. Binary
                  2. Sorting Algs
                    1. Bubble
                      1. Merge

                        Annotations:

                        • MergeSort (Array(First..Last)) Begin If Array contains only one element Then Return Array Else Middle= ((Last + First)/2) rounded down to the nearest integer LeftHalfArray = MergeSort(Array(First..Middle)) RightHalfArray = MergeSort(Array(Middle+1..Last)) ResultArray = Merge(LeftHalfArray, RightHalfArray) Return ResultArray EndIf End MergeSort
                      2. Definitions
                        1. Decomposition
                          1. breaking a problem into a number of sub-problems, so that each  sub-  problem accomplishes an identifiable task
                          2. Abstraction
                            1. the process of removing unnecessary detail from a problem
                            2. Algorithm
                              1. A sequence of instructions to complete a task in a finite amount of time
