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
  • Loading python modules

Poorly Designed Euclid's Algo.
