  1. algorithm - What does O (log n) mean exactly? - Stack Overflow

    Feb 22, 2010 · A common algorithm with O (log n) time complexity is Binary Search whose recursive relation is T (n/2) + O (1) i.e. at every subsequent level of the tree you divide problem into half and do …

  2. algorithm - When should I use Kruskal as opposed to Prim (and vice ...

    Mar 20, 2019 · I was wondering when one should use Prim's algorithm and when Kruskal's to find the minimum spanning tree? They both have easy logics, same worst cases, and only difference is …

  3. How does a 'diff' algorithm work, e.g. in VCDIFF and DiffMerge?

    Here is a page that includes a bit of documentation, full source code, and examples of a diff algorithm using the techniques in the aforementioned algorithm. The source code appears to follow the basic …

  4. Is there an efficient algorithm to generate a 2D concave hull?

    The answer may still be interesting for somebody else: One may apply a variation of the marching square algorithm, applied (1) within the concave hull, and (2) then on (e.g. 3) different scales that my …

  5. Fuzzy search algorithm (approximate string matching algorithm)

    The only way I can think of implementing it as a search algorithm is to perform a linear search and executing the string metric algorithm for each string and returning the strings with scores above a …

  6. algorithm - Difference and advantages between dijkstra & A star

    Oct 23, 2012 · A* is just like Dijkstra, the only difference is that A* tries to look for a better path by using a heuristic function which gives priority to nodes that are supposed to be better than others while …

  7. What is the optimal algorithm for the game 2048? - Stack Overflow

    Mar 12, 2014 · AI Algorithm I found a simple yet surprisingly good playing algorithm: To determine the next move for a given board, the AI plays the game in memory using random moves until the game is …

  8. Circle line-segment collision detection algorithm? - Stack Overflow

    Jul 2, 2009 · I have a line from A to B and a circle positioned at C with the radius R. What is a good algorithm to use to check whether the line intersects the circle? And at what coordinate along the …

  9. algorithm - Finding all possible combinations of numbers to reach a ...

    Jan 8, 2011 · How would you go about testing all possible combinations of additions from a given set N of numbers so they add up to a given final number? A brief example: Set of numbers to add: N = …

  10. algorithm - What is the difference between depth and height in a tree ...

    Dec 1, 2023 · This is a simple question from algorithms theory. The difference between them is that in one case you count number of nodes and in other number of edges on the shortest path between …
