You're right Kevork, it is interesting and I am enjoying following this thread...<br>
<br>
A question on study design 'wording' if I may: (happy if KK, AJ, or other SoftDev teachers address how they deal with this issue too, or perhaps Paula might comment here?<br>
The use of the word 'including'....does that imply a choice of, or implicit inclusion. ie does 'including bubble sort and quick sort' imply to cover both or either? Shell sort? and similar with the file organisation methods.<br>
<br>
again...interesting to follow...<br>

Subject: Re: [Year 12 SofDev] Stack simulator task<br>
<br>
Hi Folks,<br>
<br>
Interesting direction this discussion on data structures and techniques<br>
for manipulation of them.<br>
<br>
Of the relevant KK mentioned in the study design for U4O1<br>
. forms and uses of data structures to organise and manipulate data,<br>
including two-dimensional arrays, stacks and queues<br>
. techniques for searching, including binary search, and techniques for<br>
sorting, including bubble sort and quick sort<br>
. methods of organising files to suit particular software needs, including<br>
serial and random access<br>
<br>
have people decided which combinations and permutations to use ?<br>
eg. anyone doing a stack ? Any for a queue ? 2D array with search and/or<br>
sort ? One sort algorithm or a library function ? Same with search ,<br>
linear, binary or library function ?<br>
Anyone focusing on serial vs random access for files in the SAC problem ?<br>
<br>
It would be interesting to see how problem selection, depth and<br>
complexity falls in the outcome.<br>
<br>
Kind Regards<br>
Kevork<br>
