<p>Hi list. </p>
<p>doing some surfin online and spotted this algorithm. The website has some handy stuff too.</p>

<p>I like it as it has simple code to follow..</p>
<p>If you like..great, if not, it was just an offer so feel free to delete or modify.</p>

<div>As for data files, my kids can manage serial. The data load would not be big enough or performance-hungry enough to justify random access files, as interesting as they are.<br>
<br>
It's only now, this late in the year, that I can talk to the students freely using terms like intialise, decrement, subprogram, declare, property, array, event, and parameter without having to translate the terms. It's amazing how little progress some students
make during the year. I don't like to overestimate their understanding, and only expect 'meat & potatoes' programming.<br>
I leave the API calls, library functions, SQL databases etc to the universities.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
Mark<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>
