Cs

Front 1

stack

Back 1

set of numbers, first in is last out (LIFO)

Front 2

queue

Back 2

set of numbers, first in is first out (FIFO)

Front 3

selection sort

Back 3

sorting by swapping, stops at second to last element. looks for smallest element to swap with first etc.

Front 4

dominance

Back 4

if the ratio of the first term to the second term goes to infinity with N, the first term dominates the second

Front 5

byte

Back 5

8 bits, smallest piece of memory on a computer

Front 6

type single

Back 6

32 bits

Front 7

type double

Back 7

64 bits, default type for numbers on matlab

Front 8

int

Back 8

only integers, number signifies number of bytes, intmin and intmax, takes numbers out of range and stores as the closest number in range, arithmetic involving different integer types is always illegal

Front 9

uint

Back 9

only positive integers, converts numbers out of range to closest number in range

Front 10

relational operators

Back 10

allow all types of mixed-mode arithmetic, answer is of type logical

Front 11

sprintf

Back 11

can be assigned to a variable, unlike fprintf

Front 12

pointer

Back 12

address of a variable

Front 13

pointer variable

Back 13

variable that holds the address of a variable

Front 14

cell

Back 14

data type in matlab that holds an address, designated by curly braces, no arithmetic or relational operations

Front 15

sequential search

Back 15

simplest, target is compared with every number until found or end of list is reached, does not have to be in order, only option for unsorted lists

Front 16

binary search

Back 16

list must be sorted. recursive. splits in half, looks at middle element first, goes up if larger than middle, down if smaller, keeps cutting in half and comparing with middle element

Front 17

quick sort

Back 17

same as merge sort but with recursion. problem with recursion and exact splitting.

Front 18

merge sort

Back 18

cuts list in half or differing by one, until sorted, then merges lists in order

Front 19

vpa

Back 19

first argument is a string to be evaluated, second is number of digits/precision. vpa('pi',50)

Front 20

ezplot

Back 20

symbolic plots with one variable

Front 21

ezsurf

Back 21

functions with two variables

Front 22

strvcat(string1,string2)

Back 22

pads the strings with spaces to make them the same length (for concatenation)
