[Year 12 SofDev] Sorting Algorithms, T

[Clements, David K]

There appears to be an error with the selection sort - Loop 4 & 5 have 22 repeated.
Great presentation otherwise - it was very useful today!

Hi Darren,

Thanks for this. I thought I'd got rid of all the references to the old study design but looks like I couldn't see the wood for the trees.  I'll fix this tomorrow at work.

Cheers and thanks for the feedback.

Chris

Hey Chris, just thought I'd better point out that your slide 2 mentions bubble and quick as the study design mandates. This is from the last study design, in the current study design bubble sort is OUT and selection sort is IN for mandated knowledge.

Approaches to problem solving
* algorithms for sorting, including selection sort and quick sort and their suitability for a given purpose, measured in terms of algorithm complexity and sort time

Nothing wrong with teaching bubble, but in the exam selection and quick will be the mandated ones.
Darren.

HI All,

To go along with Selina's "timeit" for sorting, I've put together a little presentation on sorting and searching algorithms which you can assess at:

Love any comments, suggestions and feedback.

Cheers

Hi everyone,

I was playing around with the Python package "timeit" as part of teaching sorting algorithms and thought I'd send it to the list in the spirit of sharing. I don't suggest running anything bigger than n=50000 unless you're willing to wait patiently!  (For interest, n=50,000 takes 71 seconds using selection sort, 0.11 seconds using quicksort)

Even if you're not teaching Python, if you have Python installed on your computer you can use it to play around with different n values to demonstrate algorithm complexity in relation to sort time.

I've attached the code as a zip file in case .py files are filtered.

Thanks,

Selina Dennis
