A few of you noted that no one is working on the Mailbox class. That's an oversight on my part. If no one else wants to work on the class, I'll do it. The exam will take place Saturday, December 4. Recursion Algorithms, Revisited You may recall from the first day of class that the foci of CS152 are algorithms and data structures.
Algorithms are sets of instructions for completing tasks.
Data structures are mechanisms that organize information. We will begin with some consideration of algorithm analysis. To help, we'll consider two algorithms for finding the smallest integer in a collection of values. Pick a value in the collection. Make that our initial guess.
