THE THREE ELEMENTARY SORTING ALGORITHMS Bubble Sort Bubble Sort is probably one of the oldest‚ easiest‚ straight-forward‚ and inefficient sorting algorithms. It is the algorithm introduced as a sorting routine in most introductory courses on Algorithms. Bubble Sort works by comparing each element of the list with the element next to it and swapping them if required. With each pass‚ the largest of the list is "bubbled" to the end of the list whereas the smaller values sink to the bottom.

The following algorithm is to be applied to the positive integers from 1 to 12. Step 1: Cross out every even number. Step 2: Change the state of every multiple of 3 (including 3) – i.e. for every multiple of 3‚ if it is crossed out then remove the crossing

In the bin packing problem‚ the input consists of a sequence of items I = {1‚ . . . ‚ n} where each item i has a size‚ which is a real number 0 ≤ ai ≤ 1. The goal is to “pack” the items in the smallest possible number of bins of unit size. Formally‚ the items should be partitioned in disjoint subsets (bins)‚ such that the total size in each bin is at most 1. The first fit heuristic scans the items

Evolutionary explanations of aggression Evolutionary psychologists argue that reproductive challenges faced by our ancestors can explain the aggressive behaviour seen in people today. A man can never be certain that he is the father of his wife’s children unless he prevents her having relationships with other men. This can explain why male jealousy is often cited as a cause of domestic violence. In many countries it is seen as acceptable to murder an adulterous wife or her lover e.g. among the Nuer

Computer Operations‚ Solving Problems‚ and Algorithms As we learn more on how to construct and put together a functional computer program‚ there are many things that need to be understood for this to occur. This paper will address this by expounding upon three topics that do just that. With use of pseudo code (the use of nouns and verbs) are words used by programmers to help code or construct a computer program. The first section will identify the six basic computer operations that take place

Theory of Evolutionary Psychology PSY 331 Instructor Malish Jan. 11‚ 2012 The Evolutionary theory of learning is a sub- category of the school of Evolutionary psychology. The study of evolutionary psychology focuses on a combination of sciences‚ evolutionary biology and cognitive psychology‚ anthropology‚ and neuroscience. The basic theory seeks to explain‚ through universal mechanisms‚ why humans act and learn the way they do. EP (evolutionary psychology) theorists attempt to reconstruct early

IMPLEMENTATION OF IMAGE PROCESSING ALGORITHMS ON FPGA ABSTRACT This presents the use of a high language programming technique to implement image processing algorithms. FPGA is very instrumental in real time image processing because of the properties it holds. For example‚ FPGA has a structure that has ability to use temporal and special parallelism. This property is only unique to this kind of gates. Hardware constraints of the machine are another factor to consider because it affects the
