Algorithm design methods
Depending upon the scenario, different methods are available to help us design algorithms. There are three such methods: decision table, Jackson structured programming and finite state machine. For modelling logics precisely, a decision table is used. Jackson structured programming (JSP) is another methodology in which structure is developed based on the data used by the program. Computer systems are modelled as a finite state machine (FSM) to develop algorithms where its state is transformed based on possible input values. A state-transition table maps the different states of FSM.
This A Level Computer Science module introduces algorithm design methods to your students, explaining:
- Methods to design algorithms:
- Decision table
- Jackson Structured Programming (JSP)
