Welcome to the Thirteenth of Altitude Foundation’s #MicroChallenges2020
Today we’re searching and sorting data! (It’s more exciting than it might sound – we promise.)
What’s a Micro Challenge?
These challenges are short activities to help you develop, revise or refresh your coding skills, posted every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Micro Challenge #13
This week, our focus is on searching and sorting
One of the most important functions of a computer is being able to sort through data and find the requested information.
The Challenge:
How might you go about finding the number? How many ways can you come up with?
Review it:
Play through the game several times and consider:
- Which system got you the fastest answer?
- Which works best consistently?
Advanced:
The numbers 1 to 100 represent the dataset that the game is working with. For the most consistently effective search, does the dataset need to be organised in a specific way? Why?
