Urgent - Help

Sway2 · 10-03-2002, 07:25 PM

What are the 3 factors should you consider when you are deciding which search alorithm to use on a list?

Eibro · 10-03-2002, 07:31 PM

What do you think they are?

**Hammer** · 10-03-2002, 07:31 PM

... and what makes this soooo urgent then?? Why don't you try answering the question yourself first.

Sway2 · 10-03-2002, 07:33 PM

I wouldn't ask if I hadn't already tried to figure it out!!!

FINE then.

Eibro · 10-03-2002, 07:36 PM

Did you read the rules? No one is going to help you unless you make a frigging attempt at this. If you would have made an attempt people would have helped you.

Could one of them be the size of the list?

... it's not obvious from your original post, thats all. Plus threads marked as urgent are always off to a bad start.

Sway he isn't trying to be mad or ugly to you. But people don't like it when you list things urget. Sounds like you're too lazy to do your own work and people don't like being "used."

I'm not gonna do it for you cause it sounds like this lead s into a lecture...

But try this...What are the diffrent searching algorithms? How are they diffrent?

I agree with the posters above. Do you have a book- look it up.

> What are the 3 factors should you consider when you are deciding which search alorithm to use on a list?
- how fast the machine is which is running the code
- how fast the user is at understanding the results
- how fast the programmer is at implementing the code

Dammit Salem, I thought they were;

A) Will anyone notice I've actually just made a bubblesort function in a header file & named it Uber_Sort?
B) Do the programmers get paid before the software has been rolled out with anything more than a test data set?
C) Which sort could I code before the IT boys knock off, so I can join them in a Friday Beer & Pizza lazy lunch?

Sorry

Hey, is the question:

Code:

17.	In deciding which search algorithm to use on a list, which of the following should not be a factor in your decision?

	a.	The length of the list to be searched
	b.	Whether or not the list contains negative numbers
	c.	Whether or not the list is already in sorted order
	d.	The number of times the list is to be searched

Mr. C
