Problem 6:

 

USE THE SPICE MODEL TO SOLVE FOR THE FOLLOWING PROBLEM.

 

 

 

Situation: Your have a collection of 50 books with varous authors and genres and you need to organize them in some fashion.

 

 

 

Possibilites: List 3 different possible solutions to the above problem.

 

 

 

Investigate: Choose one of the possible solutions from above and

 

a) Write a algorithm to solve the problem

 

B) Write the pseudocode to solve the problem

 

 

 

Construct: Given the follow subset of books, list them according to your algorithm.

 

 

 

*The Hobbit - tolkien

 

*The hours - Cunningham

 

*Liberty - counts

 

*10 best loved poems - smith

 

*othello - Shakespeare

 

*harrypotter - rowrling

 

*Vince carter (biography) - Harris

 

*buying a computer for dummies - [grime]in

 

*the lovely bones - Sebold

 

 

 

Evaluate: How would you test to see if the problem has been solved? State a test case that you might use.

 

 

 

 

 

Please help me thank you ( or at least explain whats a algorithm or pseudocode in detail) THANKS

I am smart, there I helped you.

What's up with all these "Are you smart?" topics these days. This is like the fifth in three days or something. :?

Yes I dress very well thanks.

Author -> Alphabetical. If you need an algorithm for that.. too bad!

 

Find a sort algorithm on the internet for sorting strings (any programming language) and you're done.

 

 

 

There is also publish date and by title (alphbetical again).

 

Both with practically the same algorithm.....

 

 

 

 

 

*shrug*

Author/title.

 

genre.

 

Publishing date.

 

 

 

Do the rest by yourself.

A algorithm is the specific steps you do to do something. Like dikstras algorithm. It should work all the time.

Algorithm - What unknown said.

 

 

 

Psudocode- Usualy it's written in kind of.. half code. For example, I do this a lot in C++, we will write out an algorithim, but we will use slight coding while writing it down. Think of it as half code / half writing.

Do your own damn homework.

Our Policy On Homework Help

 

Asking for help with homework is fine - feel free to do that. What we don't allow is asking for direct answers or subtley asking, "How would you do this one problem?" General explanations about homework may be given but threads asking for direct answers to problems will be locked.
