  3. CHAPTER 1 FUNDAMENTALS: ALGORITHMS, INTEGERS AND MATRICES • Describe an algorithm • Define and categorized the properties of an • algorithm 1.1 ALGORITHM

  4. What is Algorithm? • Is a complete list of the steps (finite sequence of instructions)necessary to perform a task/computation or for solving a problem. • The steps maybe a general descriptions (not very detail) or may be totally precise description (very detail). • Often used in Mathematics, computing, linguistics, and related subjects for calculation and data processing. • The term is a corruption of the name al-Khowarizmi (9th century mathematician) – Algorism. • Algorism was used for the rules for performing arithmetic using decimal notation. • Algorism evolved into the word algorithm by 18th century. 1.1 ALGORITHM

  5. Example of Simple Algorithm We often used algorithm in our life , but when and how? • Your cooking recipe • Your daily routine as a student • When you buy something • When you go outing • My class routine 1.1 ALGORITHM

  6. Expressing Algorithms (Describe) We can specify a procedure for solving a problem in term of the following ways: • Natural languages – used any language – rarely used for complex or technical algorithms. • Pseudocode & Flowcharts – structured ways to express algorithms that avoid many of the ambiguities common in natural language statements. • Programming language – primarily intended for expressing algorithms in a form that can be executed by a computer. – often used as a way to define or document algorithms. 1.1 ALGORITHM

  7. Describe an algorithm by Natural Languages EXAMPLE 1: A recipe for baking a cake A) general - without subroutines • MIX MARGERINE AND SUGAR • ADD EGG TO THE MIXTURE • BEAT THE MIXTURE • ADD THE FLOUR TO THE MIXTURE • POUR MIXTURE INTO PAN • BAKE IN OVEN FOR 40 MINUTES AT 350°F 1.1 ALGORITHM

  8. Describe an algorithm by Natural Languages EXAMPLE 1: A recipe for baking a cake B) precise - with subroutines and the details steps given for each subroutines. • CALL MIX • CALL ADDEGG • CALL BEAT • CALL ADDFLOUR • CALL PAN • CALL BAKE (OVEN,40,350) 1.1 ALGORITHM • Remove egg from the carton • Break egg on edge of bowl • Drop egg, without shell into bowl

  9. Describe an algorithm by Natural Languages EXAMPLE 2: Describe an algorithm for finding the maximum (largest) value in a finite sequence of integers • Assume the first integer in the sequence is the largest (temporary maximum). • Compare the next integer in the sequence to the temporary maximum. If it is larger than the temporary maximum, set the temporary maximum equal to this integer. • Repeat STEP 2 for the next integer in the sequence. • Stop when there are no integers left in the sequence. The temporary maximum at this point is the largest integer in the sequence. 1.1 ALGORITHM

  10. Describe an algorithm by Pseudocode 1.1 ALGORITHM • Pseudocode is an informal programming language • Pseudocode provides an intermediate step between Language description of an algorithm and an implementation of this algorithm in an Programming Language. • The instruction used can included any well defined operation or statements. • A computer program can be produced in any computer language using the pseudocode description as a starting point. • Advantage: simple, it can be easily written and understood

  11. Describe an algorithm by Pseudocode 1.1 ALGORITHM Characteristics in Pseudocode used in this class • Procedure Statements – procedure maximum (L: list of integers) • gives the name of an algorithm • Assignment Statements – symbol := is used; example, (max := a) • Used to assign values to variables • Blocks of Statements • Group into blocks using begin and end statements • Comments – ex, {x is the largest element in L} • Conditional Constructions – if condition then statement, else if then • Loop Constructions – for, while • Loops within Loops - • Using Procedures in Other Procedures Refer Appendix 3 (Rosen K.H., Discrete Mathematics & Its Applications, (Seventh Edition), McGraw-Hill, 2007) / Pseudocode,,

  12. Describe an algorithm by Pseudocode 1.1 ALGORITHM • EXAMPLE : Describe an algorithm for finding the maximum (largest) value in a finite sequence of integers • proceduremax(a1,a2,…,an: integers) • max := a1 • fori := 2 ton • ifmax < aithenmax := ai • {max is the largest element} - Procedure statement - Assignment statement - Loop construction - Conditional construction - Comment

  15. EXERCISE 1.1 (ASSIGNMENT 1) • Describe an algorithm that takes a list of n integers a1,a2,…,anand finds the number of integers each greater than five in the list. 2. Describe an algorithm that takes a list of integers a1,a2,…,an(n ≥ 2) and finds the second-largest integer in the sequence. 3.

Describe an algorithm that takes a list of n integers (n ≥ 1) and finds the average of the largest and smallest integers in the list. 1.1 ALGORITHM

  16. Properties of an Algorithm • Input: a specific set of values • Output: the produces values when input values is tested to an algorithm (the solution to the problem) • Definiteness: The steps must be defined precisely • Correctness: The output must be true for all input values • Finiteness: An algorithm should produce the desired output after a finite number of steps for any input in the set • Effectiveness: It must be possible to perform each step exactly and in a finite amount of time • Generality: The procedure should be applicable for all problems 1.1 ALGORITHM

  17. Example: Show that the algorithm for finding maximum values has all the properties • Input: a sequence of integers. • Output: the largest value in the sequence. • Definiteness: Each step is precisely defined because only assignments, a finite loop and conditional statements occur. • Correctness: We can show that when the algorithm terminates, the value of the variable max equals to the maximum value in the sequence. • Finiteness: A finite number of steps is used because it terminates after all the integers in the sequence have been test. • Effectiveness: The algorithm can be carried out in a finite amount of time. • Generality: The algorithm can be used to find the maximum of any finite sequence of integers. 1.1 ALGORITHM

  19. DISCUSSION: MOST POPULAR ALGORITHM • Searching Algorithm • The Linear Search / Sequential Search • The Binary Search • Sorting Algorithm • The Bubble Sort • The Insertion Sort 1.1 ALGORITHM

  20. SEARCHING ALGORITHM • Solve problem of locating an element in an ordered lists. • Example: checks the spelling of words in dictionary 1.1 ALGORITHM GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF SEARCHING ALGORITHM • Locate an element x in a list of distinct elements • a1, a2, …, an, or determine that it is not in the list. • The solution • The location of the term in the list that equals to x (that is, i is the solution if x = ai) and is 0 if x is not in the list.

  21. SEARCHING ALGORITHM – Linear Search • Begins by comparing x and ai • If x = a1, the solution is the location a1, namely 1 • When x ≠ a1, compare x with a2 • If x = a2, the solution is the location a2, namely 2 • Continue and repeat the process until a match is found • If the entire list has been searched without locating x, the solution is 0. 1.1 ALGORITHM Pseudocode: The Linear (Sequential) Search Algorithm • procedurelinear search(x: integer, a1,a2,…,an: distinct integers) • i := 1 • while (i ≤ n and x ≠ ai) • i := i + 1 • ifx = aithenlocation := i • else location := 0 • {location is the subscript of the term that equals x, or is 0 if x is not found }

  22. SEARCHING ALGORITHM – Binary Search • The list has terms occurring in increasing order size • The list is split into two same size sublists (or one list has one fewer term) • The search continues by restricting the search to the appropriate sublist based on the comparison of the element to located and the middle term 1.1 ALGORITHM Pseudocode: The Binary Search Algorithm • procedurebinary search(x: integer, a1,a2,…,an: increasing integers) • i := 1 {i is the left endpoint of search interval} • j := n {j is the right endpoint of search interval} • whilei < j • begin • m := • ifx > am theni := m + 1 • else j := m • end • ifx = ai thenlocation := i • else location := 0 • {location is the subscript of the term that equals x, or is 0 if x is not found }

  23. EXAMPLE – Binary Search • Problem: Search 19 in the list of • 1 2 3 5 6 7 8 10 12 13 15 16 18 19 20 22 1.1 ALGORITHM • Solution: • Split into two smaller lists with 8 terms each • 1 2 3 5 6 7 8 10 and 12 13 15 16 18 19 20 22 • Compare 19 and the largest term in the first list • 10 < 19, the search for 19 can be restricted to the second list • Split the second list into another subsplits with 4 term each • 12 13 15 16 and 18 19 20 22 • Since 16 < 19, Split the second list into another subsplits with 2 term each • 18 19 and 20 22 • 19 = 19, so split the first list into another subsplits with 1 term each • 18 and 19 • 18 < 19, so chose 19 which is located in the 14th term in the list

  24. EXERCISE 1.1 • Show how the linear search algorithm searches for 27 in the following list: 5, 28, 15, 31, 27, 8, 6, 12 • Show how the binary search algorithm searches for 27 in the following list: 5, 6, 8, 12, 15, 27, 28, 31 • Show how the linear search algorithm searches for 11 in the following list: 4, 13, 15, 11, 2, 8, 5, 18 • Show how the binary search algorithm searches for 11 in the following list: 1, 5, 7, 11, 19, 21, 25, 26, 30, 33 1.1 ALGORITHM

  25. SORTING ALGORITHM • Solve problem of ordering the elements of a list. • Example: telephone directory, staff directory • Sorting will put these elements into a lists in which the elements are in increasing orders • number: 1, 2, 3,… • alphabet: a, b, c,… • Many algorithm have been developed, but we will discussed only two algorithm • Bubble sort • Insertion sort 1.1 ALGORITHM

  26. SORTING ALGORITHM – Bubble Sort 1.1 ALGORITHM • Put a list into increasing order by successively comparing adjacent elements, interchanging them they are in the wrong order. • Interchange a larger element with a smaller one • Iterate the procedure until the sort is complete • The smaller elements “bubble” to the top as they are interchanged with larger elements • The larger elements “sink” to the bottom Pseudocode: The Bubble Sort Algorithm • procedurebubblesort(a1,a2,…,an: real numbers with n ≥ 2) • for i := 1 ton - 1 • for j:= 1 ton - i • ifaj > aj+1 then interchange ajand aj+1 • {a1,a2,…,an is in increasing order}
