Lab Instructions | Video of Lab
Highlights:
-
Solidify understanding of what an algorithm is and why they’re important to computer science and other fields.
-
Gain a basic understanding of why certain algorithms perform better than others.
-
There’s often more than one way to solve the same problem. Certain solutions will be superior to others, but very often choosing a solution will require evaluating a list of trade-offs relevant to your particular situation.
-
Practice implementing algorithms that were discussed verbally.
-
Memoization is a technique that can be used for improving the performance of algorithms with repeated calculations at the expense of a higher memory requirement.
-
Hiding algorithmic details behind a layer of abstraction makes it easier to upgrade or adjust your implementation in the future.
