ALGORITHMS

1. Represent Algs

   • pseudocodes
     • selection
       • if... then... else...
       • select case... of...otherwise...end select
     • Repetition
       • for... to... next
       • do...while
   • flowcharts
     • symbols
       • decision
       • process
       • entity
       • start/stop

2. set of instructions to complete a task in a finite amount of time

   • many algorithms to solve one problem
     • faster
     • more efficient, use less memory
   • not a program
     • pseudocode is structured english, not programming code, so all can understand

3. classic algorithms

   • searching
     • linear
     • binary
   • sorting
     • bubble
     • quick
     • merge
