Algorithms Introduction
Recipe for baking a cake….
• 2 sticks butter
• 2 cups flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 tsp baking powder
• Cocoa powder (1/2 pound)
Mix the sugar, baking powder and flour, mix in beaten eggs, melted butter and bake at 325F for 40 mins.
Cooking example
Salad:
25m prep, 0m cooking
Chicken noodle:
10m prep, 40 min cooking
Rice pudding:
15 mins prep, 20m cooking
In what order should Martha make
the dishes?
• Martha can work on preparing one dish at
a time, however once something is
cooking, she can prepare another dish.
• How quickly can she get all the dishes
ready?
• She starts at 5pm, and her guests will
arrive at 6pm….
First try
5:00pm 5:25pm
5:35pm 5:50pm
6:15pm 6:10pm
(25,0) (10,40) (15,20)
Prep time Cook time
Second try
5:00pm 5:10pm
5:25pm 5:50pm
5:50pm 5:45pm
(10,40) (15,20) (25,0)
First work on dishes with shortest preparation time?
This rule may not work all the time
Suppose the required times are:
Bulgur (5,10) Lentils (10, 60) Lamb (15, 75)
Shortest prep time order: start at 5pm, and
finish lamb at 6:45pm
Longest cooking time first: food ready at
6:30pm.
What if she had to make several
dishes?
• For 3 dishes, there are only 6 possible
orders. SCR,SRC,RSC,RCS,CSR,CRS.
• The number of possible orderings of 10
dishes is 3,628,800.
• For 15 dishes the number of possible
orderings is 1,307,674,368,000!
• This leads to a combinatorial explosion.
Key Idea
• Order dishes in longest cooking time order.
• Chicken noodle soup goes first (40 mins of cook time), next is the Rice pudding (20 mins of cook time), followed by the Salad (0 mins of cook time).
• This is the best ordering. In other words, no other order can take less time.
• This does not work if there are very few stovetops (now the problem becomes really difficult).
What if we had a small number of
burners?
• Problem becomes
very difficult if we
have 2, 3, 4 burners..
• Problem can be
solved optimally if we
only have one burner

Three constructs
Algorithm representation
• Flowchart
– A flowchart is a pictorial representation of
an algorithm.
• Pseudocode
– Pseudocode is an Englishlike
representation of an algorithm.
Flowcharts for three constructs
Pseudocode for three constructs
Write an algorithm to find the largest of a
set of numbers.
FindLargest
Input: A list of positive integers
1. Set Largest to 0
2. while (more integers)
2.1 if (the integer is greater than Largest)
then
2.1.1 Set largest to the value of the
integer
End if
End while
3. Return Largest
End
Find largest
Find Largest
FIND-LARGEST (A, n)⊳ largest
largest ← 0
for i ← 1 to n
if A[i] > largest
largest ← A[i]
return largest
“pseudocode”
The problem of sorting
Input: sequence a1, a2, …, an of numbers.
Example:
Input: 8 2 4 9 3 6
Output: 2 3 4 6 8 9
Output: a'1, a'2, …, a'n such that
a'1 <= a'2 <= … <= a'n
Insertion sort
INSERTION-SORT (A, n) ⊳ A[1 . . n]
for j ← 2 to n
do key ← A[ j]
i ← j – 1
while i > 0 and A[i] > key
do A[i+1] ← A[i]
i ← i – 1
A[i+1] = key
“pseudocode”
i j
key sorted
A:
1 n

Merge sort
MERGE-SORT A[1 . . n] 1. If n = 1, done.
2. Recursively sort A[ 1 . . n/2 ] and A[ n/2+1 . . n ] .
3. “Merge” the 2 sorted lists.
