Computer Science (CS) Unplugged activities are designed to engage students with CS concepts. It is an active learning approach combining physical interaction with visual representation. This research article investigates the impact of CS Unplugged on ...

Classical radial basis function network (RBFN) is widely used to process the non‐linear separable data sets with the introduction of activation functions. However, the setting of parameters for activation functions is random and the distribution of ...

This study was a qualitative analysis of introductory-level computer science students' comprehension of sorting algorithms. We asked six students to read and summarize the code of a sorting algorithm. Next, we asked them to trace through the code, first ...

Based on the analysis of the traditional bubble sort algorithm, this paper proposes two bidirectional bubble sort algorithm design ideas. After giving C language description of the three algorithms, the paper tests the new algorithms, analyzes ...

In this paper, we introduce new codeword sets based on order complexity (OC) which measures uncertainty of the order having each permutation string. The proposed codeword sets are generated by two procedures: Indexing and B-transform. Indexing is that a ...

This presentation describes various programming surprises created to motivate students to experimentation and discovery by appealing to their curiosity.

Text books, including books for general audiences, invariably mention bubble sort in discussions of elementary sorting algorithms. We trace the history of bubble sort, its popularity, and its endurance in the face of pedagogical assertions that code and ...

The area-time complexity of sorting is analyzed under an updated model of VLSI computation. The new model makes a distinction between "processing" circuits and "memory" circuits; the latter are less important since they are denser and consume less ...
