C Algorithms – Bucket Sort

Bucket sort is a sorting algorithm that works by inserting the elements of the sorting array intro buckets, then, each bucket is sorted individually. The idea behind bucket sort is that if we know the range of our elements to be sorted, we can set up buckets for each possible element, and just toss elements into their corresponding buckets. We then empty the buckets in order, and the result is a sorted list. It is similar to radix sort. How it works: Initially we have to set up an array of empty buckets, then put each object into its bucket….

Project Management Structure and Variables

The Project Management Triangle The most basic structure for project management is called the PM triangle. As with any project that requires a group of humans to reach towards a goal, a project must be completed successfully under specific circumstances. While there are many circumstances or constraints that a project may face, three of the best known as cost, scope, and time. It is these three factors that form the structure of the PM triangle. When the constraints are refined to a much higher degree, performance can also be thought of as the fourth constraint. The time constraint involves how…

Project Management Approach

A project is best described as an endeavor which is finite, one which is carried out so that either a product or service can be created. The reason why a project is described as being finite is because it differs from a process or permanent system, in which the goal is to repeatedly create a product for extended periods of time. The management for both is quite different. What is Project Management? Project management is the field that involves the planning and handling of resources that allows a team to successfully complete a project, reaching the goals and objectives which…

OOAD Classes

Understanding the Ways in which Classes are Connected Inheritance is a very important concept within the object oriented programming paradigm. Inheritance is essentially comprised of the merger of two simple concepts, which are reuse and abstractions. To begin with, you may recognize that two constructs, such as X and Y, have something which relates them together. If you do not wish to deal with this shared aspect more than once, then you have the option of creating a construct called Z that will be responsible for holding the commonality, taking the commonality from X and Y and restoring it inside…

Object-oriented analysis and design is a software engineering model which makes use of objects, classes, state, methods and behavior concepts to analyze and demonstrate system structure, functional needs and behavior. While Object-oriented analysis emphasizes the things that a system actually does, the object oriented design is concerned with the manner in which the system does it. One thing that you must keep in mind is that the object oriented system will always be comprised of objects. The behavior for the system is a result for the connection that is made with the objects. Connections between objects will require them to…
