Floyd's triangle is a triangular array of natural numbers used in computer science education. It is named after Robert Floyd . It is defined by filling the rows of the triangle with consecutive numbers, starting with a 1 in the top left corner:
Finally, in the third loop, it loops over the items of input again, but in reverse order, moving each item into its sorted position in the output array. [1] [2] [3] The relative order of items with equal keys is preserved here; i.e., this is a stable sort.
Nassi–Shneiderman diagrams are only rarely used for formal programming. Their abstraction level is close to structured program code and modifications require the whole diagram to be redrawn, but graphic editors removed that limitation. They clarify algorithms and high-level designs, which make them useful in teaching.
The header defines the iteration and the body is the code executed once per iteration. The header often declares an explicit loop counter or loop variable. This allows the body to know which iteration is being executed. For-loops are typically used when the number of iterations is known before entering the loop.
Swapping pairs of items in successive steps of Shellsort with gaps 5, 3, 1. Shellsort, also known as Shell sort or Shell's method, is an in-place comparison sort.It can be seen as either a generalization of sorting by exchange (bubble sort) or sorting by insertion (insertion sort). [3]
A k-cycle is a cycle that can be partitioned into k contiguous subsequences, each consisting of an increasing sequence of odd numbers, followed by a decreasing sequence of even numbers. [15] For instance, if the cycle consists of a single increasing sequence of odd numbers followed by a decreasing sequence of even numbers, it is called a 1-cycle.
Some CFG examples: (a) an if-then-else (b) a while loop (c) a natural loop with two exits, e.g. while with an if...break in the middle; non-structured but reducible (d) an irreducible CFG: a loop with two entry points, e.g. goto into a while or for loop A control-flow graph used by the Rust compiler to perform codegen.
A sorting algorithm introduced in the 2011 Google Code Jam. [6] As long as the list is not in order, a subset of all elements is randomly permuted. If this subset is optimally chosen each time this is performed, the expected value of the total number of times this operation needs to be done is equal to the number of misplaced elements.
