CS 240: Lecture 18 – Sorting

Dear students: Now that we have a new tool for analyzing recursive algorithms, we are ready to start looking at some of those algorithms. The fastest sorting algorithms are recursive. However, the fastest sorting algorithms are also complex. Rather than begin with them, we first look at some simpler but slower sorting algorithms. Tail Recursion […]

CS 240: Lecture 17 – Recurrence Lab

Dear students: Today we will devote our entire time together to a lab on recurrences. Follow these guidelines: Expand your general case out at least three levels to be certain of the pattern. Write your answers out cleanly on paper or screen. Triple-check your algebra. Ask lots of questions. There’s nothing to turn in. TODO […]

CS 240: Lecture 16 – Binary Search

Dear students: Even before computers, we humans collected massive amounts of data. We made dictionaries and phonebooks, for example. Finding an entry in our records can be difficult. One option is the sequential search, which looks like this: to search(target) for each record if record matches target return record return null In the worst case, […]

CS 240: Lecture 15 – Recurrence Relations

Dear students: This semester is moving right along. We started by discussing the need to gauge the expected running time of our code in a machine-independent way. Coming up with an exact number of operations is too hard. Instead we decided to focus only on the dominant terms of an algorithm’s cost function. The result […]
