Algorithms

Bayani Gaba-gaba

A satnav choosing the fastest route, a music app shuffling a playlist, a search engine ranking results: every one of these runs an algorithm, a precise sequence of steps that turns an input into an output. Before you can write a single line of Python, you need to be able to design, represent, trace and judge algorithms on paper.

This lesson builds the toolkit examiners expect on Paper 1: pseudocode and written descriptions of algorithms, trace tables for following a program's logic by hand, and the four standard algorithms named in the specification, linear search, binary search, bubble sort and merge sort. Everything here also feeds straight into Paper 2, where you will implement these same ideas as working Python code.

Manufura

  1. Understand what an algorithm is, what algorithms are used for and be able to interpret algorithms (flowcharts, pseudocode, written descriptions, program code)
  2. Understand how to create an algorithm to solve a particular problem, making use of programming constructs (sequence, selection, iteration) and using appropriate conventions (flowchart, pseudocode, written description, draft program code)
  3. Understand the purpose of a given algorithm and how an algorithm works
  4. Understand how to determine the correct output of an algorithm for a given set of data
  5. Understand how to identify and correct errors in algorithms, including using trace tables
  6. Understand how to code an algorithm in a high-level language
  7. Understand how the choice of algorithm is influenced by the data structures and data values that need to be manipulated
  8. Understand how standard algorithms work (bubble sort, merge sort, linear search, binary search)
  9. Be able to evaluate the fitness for purpose of algorithms in meeting specified requirements efficiently, using logical reasoning and test data

Takardar Darasi

An algorithm is a precise, finite sequence of steps that solves a problem or completes a task. Every algorithm has three properties an examiner might test: it must have a clear start and end, each step must be unambiguous, and it must produce the correct result for any valid input, not just the one example you happened to test.
