In computer science, divide and conquer is an algorithm design paradigm. A divide-and-conquer algorithm recursively breaks down a problem into two or more sub-problems of the same or related type, until these become simple enough to be solved directly. The solutions to the sub-problems are then combined to give a solution to the original problem.
Merge sort. In computer science, a sorting algorithm is an algorithm that puts elements of a list into an order. The most frequently used orders are numerical order and lexicographical order, and either ascending or descending.
In computer science, the analysis of algorithms is the process of finding the computational complexity of algorithms —the amount of time, storage, or other resources needed to execute them. Usually, this involves determining a function that relates the size of an algorithm's input to the number of steps it takes (its time complexity) or the ...
The nearest neighbor algorithm was one of the first algorithms used to solve the travelling salesman problem approximately. In that problem, the salesman starts at a random city and repeatedly visits the nearest city until all have been visited. The algorithm quickly yields a short tour, but usually not the optimal one.
Bresenham's line algorithm is a line drawing algorithm that determines the points of an n -dimensional raster that should be selected in order to form a close approximation to a straight line between two points.
The Milwaukee Brewers' 8-2 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday featured a benches-clearing brawl that saw punches thrown and players ejected. It featured a wholesome moment, too.
Online algorithm. In computer science, an online algorithm [1] is one that can process its input piece-by-piece in a serial fashion, i.e., in the order that the input is fed to the algorithm, without having the entire input available from the start. In contrast, an offline algorithm is given the whole problem data from the beginning and is ...
Preheat the oven to 350 ̊. Process the cookies and sugar in a food processor until finely ground. Add the melted butter and pulse until the mixture is the texture of wet sand. Press into a 9-inch ...
