2. Parsons problem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parsons_problem

   The Parsons problem format is used in the learning and teaching of computer programming. Dale Parsons and Patricia Haden of Otago Polytechnic developed Parsons's Programming Puzzles to aid the mastery of basic syntactic and logical constructs of computer programming languages, in particular Turbo Pascal, [1] although any programming language ...

3. Rubber duck debugging - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_duck_debugging

   In software engineering, rubber duck debugging (or rubberducking) is a method of debugging code by articulating a problem in spoken or written natural language. The name is a reference to a story in the book The Pragmatic Programmer in which a programmer would carry around a rubber duck and debug their code by forcing themselves to explain it ...

4. Sudoku solving algorithms - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudoku_solving_algorithms

   Unlike the latter however, optimisation algorithms do not necessarily require problems to be logic-solvable, giving them the potential to solve a wider range of problems. Algorithms designed for graph colouring are also known to perform well with Sudokus. [13] It is also possible to express a Sudoku as an integer linear programming problem ...

5. Divide-and-conquer algorithm - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divide-and-conquer_algorithm

   The divide-and-conquer paradigm is often used to find an optimal solution of a problem. Its basic idea is to decompose a given problem into two or more similar, but simpler, subproblems, to solve them in turn, and to compose their solutions to solve the given problem. Problems of sufficient simplicity are solved directly.

6. List of algorithms - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_algorithms

   An algorithm is fundamentally a set of rules or defined procedures that is typically designed and used to solve a specific problem or a broad set of problems.. Broadly, algorithms define process(es), sets of rules, or methodologies that are to be followed in calculations, data processing, data mining, pattern recognition, automated reasoning or other problem-solving operations.

7. Dynamic programming - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_programming

   The dynamic programming approach to solve this problem involves breaking it apart into a sequence of smaller decisions. To do so, we define a sequence of value functions V t ( k ) {\displaystyle V_{t}(k)} , for t = 0 , 1 , 2 , … , T , T + 1 {\displaystyle t=0,1,2,\ldots ,T,T+1} which represent the value of having any amount of capital k at ...

8. Competitive programming - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Competitive_programming

   Irrespective of the problem category, the process of solving a problem can be divided into two broad steps: constructing an efficient algorithm, and implementing the algorithm in a suitable programming language (the set of programming languages allowed varies from contest to contest). These are the two most commonly tested skills in programming ...

9. Optimal substructure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimal_substructure

   Typically, a greedy algorithm is used to solve a problem with optimal substructure if it can be proven by induction that this is optimal at each step. [1] Otherwise, provided the problem exhibits overlapping subproblems as well, divide-and-conquer methods or dynamic programming may be used. If there are no appropriate greedy algorithms and the ...
