Homework 22

Comments

• Most problems are found in one of the following:
  1. ADM: The Algorithm Design Manual
  2. IDMA: An Introduction to Discrete Mathematics and Algorithms
• For full credit, provide context for each problem, show all calculations, and justify all answers by providing enough comments to explain your reasoning.
• You will lose a significant amount of credit if you do not provide context, calculations, and justifications for a problem.
• Numbers and/or algebra by themselves are not enough. A correct answer with no justification will be worth no more than half credit, and sometimes much less than that.
• Precision is very important. You cannot skip steps, make guesses, or use flawed logic. Any of these things can lead to incorrect answers.
• Homework assignments must be very neatly written or typeset (e.g. using Word or OpenOffice).
• You must indicate any assistance/collaboration you had on an assignment as specified on the Policies page.
• NEW! If a problem asks for an algorithm, you should give the most efficient algorithm you can find to ensure full credit. You should also specify the complexity of the algorithm with justification, whether or not the problem asks for it.

Details

• Complete the Data Structures and Algorithms Catalog. That document tells you just about everything you need to know.
• Submit a PDF or docx file using Webhandin using assignment 255-HW22 (Use your 1Hope username/password).
• The purpose of this assignment is to help you review all of the data structures and algorithms you have learned about from this and previous classes (primarily CSCI 235). In addition, the "catalog" component of the assignment should help you organize the algorithms in a way that makes sense to you.
• Grades will be based primarily on completeness and correctness (but see below).
• Note: This will be graded by spot checking parts of it and looking at more detail at other parts. I am telling you this because if the final exam is open book/notes, I want to make sure that you know that you are responsible to know whether or not all of the details in your catalog are correct.
• Note #2: Submit this by Thursday if you want comments for Friday. Otherwise the deadline is being extended to the final exam period (Tuesday at 12:30). I will not be assigning a grade if you submit it Thursday so make sure you resubmit it before the exam if you make changes.
