hey guys, software standard algorithms that we'll need for the test

I know there is
-Binary Search
-Linear Search
-Bubble Sort
-Insertion Sort
-Quick Sort
-Maximum/minimum values in an array

is there anything else I'm forgetting?

and another question... when they say "create an algorithm" does that mean you have to use pseudocode specifically? or can you use flowcharts??


and whats your prediction on what kind of algortihm they may ask for in the test?

From the SDD Course Specs (Section 7) the following are Standard Algorithms:
  • Load an array and print its contents
  • Add the contents of an array of numbers
  • Finding a maximum value in an array
  • Finding a minimum value in an array
  • Extracting data from a string
  • Insertion of a string into another string
  • Deletion of a string from another string
  • Generating a set of unique random numbers
  • Creating a file
  • Printing the contents of a file
  • Appending records to an existing sequential file
  • Creating a relative file
  • Reading records from a relative file
  • Updating records in a relative file

When they ask you to design an algorithm you have the option of using either pseudocode or a flowchart unless they specifically state that you must use one.

They usually have a scenario relating to fish in the SDD HSC exams.

Also, this question doesn't just apply to this option topic. You need to know this content regardless of what topic you study.
