Recapping Alphabetize CDs
v Alphabetize CDs illustrates an intuitively
understandable process not involving a computer
v The Alphabetize CDs program demonstrated several
features of algorithms and programs …
o The program illustrated the 5 properties of algorithms -- input
and output specs, definiteness, effectiveness, finiteness
o In order to reference the different slots, we used two
“pointers” called Alpha and Bet
o Alpha referenced all slots but the last, and for each slot
Alpha referenced, Bet referenced each slot to its right
o Can you “visualize” Alphabetize CDs’ processing strategy?
Alphabetize CDs illustrates nearly all of the programming
concepts to be covered in FIT100, but it did so in English
