Reading Assignment

  • Beginning Python, Chapter 5

Algorithms, Continued

  • Complexity notation, O(n), etc.
  • Loop Complexity
  • First algorithms (Horner, Euclid, Babylonian)
  • Code walk-through for a poorly designed Euclids algo.
  • The KISS, DRY, and incremental principles

Poorly Designed Euclid's Algo.

<source lang="python"> a = 1547 b = 224

while(1):

 if a < b:
   c = a
   a = b
   b = c
 a = a % b
 if a < b:
   c = a
   a = b
   b = c
 if a == 0:
   break
 print "%d, %d"%(a,b)

print "The GCD of %d and %d is %d"%(a,b,b) </source>
