ALG - Assignment

This document outlines the coursework requirements for an Algorithmics assignment. It is comprised of two parts - Part A focuses on evaluating algorithms and determining their time complexity, while Part B examines the P vs NP complexity classification. Students must identify problems that can be solved through algorithms, analyze the time complexity of potential solutions, and discuss examples of P and NP problems. The assignment will be assessed based on submitted documentation that addresses the tasks and includes proper referencing of sources.

Assessment Criteria

IMPORTANT: This is a group assignment. All submitted components must be your


own work or appropriately accredited.

Referencing: If you use ideas from external sources, e.g. books / magazines / internet
/ forums, then proper citation should be done using the Harvard Name
convention within your solution. Failure to reference design / ideas
properly is considered as plagiarism.

Tasks

PART A: Algorithms and Complexity

Algorithms play a major role in how efficient a computing programs can solve problems.
Numerous well-known algorithms were designed and written to solve various
computational problem such as sorting, searching, matching and etc
Identify a problem that is solved using computer program. Problem could involve sorting,
searching, path tracing, routing, graph traversals and the like. Identity and explain any 2
algorithms that could be used to solve the problem.
