Criticize My Algorithm by Nobody: 3:16pm On Mar 26, 2020
Hey Gurus in d house they is a python script am working on that makes make manipulation of scripts easy although python has it on easy methods to do so bt i had to re-invent d wheel with a couple of algorithm implemnetation i just want you guyz to help me scrutinize nd check my codes nd show me where i can improve on
You can DM me on whatsapp using this number 07013927220 to talk or just check the code here
from math import floor
##please##
class LMM:
def __init__(self,list):
self.list=list
def print(self):
for i in self.list:
print(i)
def Add(self,index,item):
indx=index
length=len(list)-1
self.list+=[0]
while length>=indx:
self.list[length+1]=self.list[length]
length-=1
self.list[indx]=item
return self.list
def Remove(self,index):
tempindx=index
indx=index
self.list[tempindx]=self.list[tempindx+1]
self.list.remove(self.list[indx])
return self.list
def Sort(self):
length=len(list)-1
for turns in range(length):
for i in range(length):
if self.list[i]>self.list[i+1]:
tempdata=self.list[i]
self.list[i]=self.list[i+1]
self.list[i+1]=tempdata
return self.list
def Reverse(self):
listx=[]
for i in range(len(self.list)-1,-1,-1):
listx.append(self.list[i])
return listx
def Index(self,num):
for i in range(len(self.list)):
if self.list[i]==num:
return i
def Bindex(self,num):
LB=0
UB=len(self.list)-1
Found=None
while Found==None:
if LB>UB:
print("The number {} does not exist".format(num))
break
Mid=floor((LB+((UB-LB)/2)))
if self.list[Mid]<num:
LB=Mid+1
if self.list[Mid]>num:
UB=Mid-1
if self.list[Mid]==num:
#print("Found {} at index:{}".format(num,Mid))
Found=True
break
return Mid


list=[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]
LMM=LMM(list)
a=LMM.Bindex(7)
print(a)

Thanks ur for time

Can you upload this as a GitHub gist and post a link. It's kinda hard to read because of Python's indentation.

Sorry don't knw hw to wrk github that's y i left my number

By mere going through the code like that I could observe that your code will run in O(N²) quadratic time which simply translates that as your input increases the time the algorithm takes doubles. The bubble sort is algorithm is a good example of this.

Your search method I think is doing a binary search but you fail to account for the fact that binary search only works on a sorted array. Try and add a line inside the search method to sort the array first.

If you feel comfortable with Python you could replace your sort method with a merge sort implementation which is very acceptable as it has a linear time O(n) worst case scenario.

There is a fairly correct saying that for loops are evil. Try and replace for loops with functional programming methods like filter, reduce e.t.c with Python lambda.

But all in all bravo to you for even trying to code this as many programmers only care about data types and algorithm a week to an interview.

Also try and work on your variable naming and comments keeping in mind that you won't be the only one working with your code and even you after some years might find it hard to figure what a line does when you don't have good variable names and concise comments.

I've been searching for a link to download Python environment on my system for practice. I wanna start learning to code and all. Can anyone be of help please?
