Sorting and searching are fundamental computational processes.
Complete the table by writing the name of a search algorithm and a sort algorithm that match the given characteristics.
| Algorithm type | Characteristic | Algorithm name |
|---|---|---|
| Search | Does not require the dataset to be ordered | |
| Sort | Repeatedly splits the dataset into individual sublists, then combines them back in order |
159 exam-style questions on Edexcel GCSE Computer Science Algorithms, covering Constructs for solving problems, Variables, constants and data structures, Arithmetic, relational and logical operators, Tracing algorithm output with trace tables, Types of error and correcting logic errors, Standard algorithms (sorts and searches), and Evaluating algorithm fitness and efficiency. Each one has a worked solution and a mark scheme showing where the marks go.
