FREE Array Algorithm Organizer for AP CSA

***FREE***

The Array Algorithm Organizer is designed to help students understand and organize their thought process when working with array-related algorithms in Java programming. This tool is particularly useful for AP exam review or as students progress through the Java programming course.

Array Organizer Breakdown:

• Standard Array Algorithms (1D Arrays)
  • Determine a minimum or maximum value
  • Compute a sum, average, or mode.
  • Determine if at least one element has a particular property.
  • Determine if all elements have a particular property.
  • Determine if all elements meet a condition.
  • Swapping Algorithm
  • Shifting Array Elements
  • Reversing Array Elements

• Searching and Sorting Algorithms
  • Linear Search
  • Binary Search (iteratively)
  • Binary Search (recursively)
  • Selection Sort
  • Insertion Sort
  • Merge Sort

• Two-Dimensional Array Algorithms)
  • Displaying 2D contents in row-major order
  • Displaying 2D contents in column-major order
  • Linear Search for a 2D Array
  • Sum up values in a 2D matrix
  • Find the column with the smallest sum in a 2D matrix

Suggestions For Use:

• Guided Exercises
• Independent Practice
• AP Exam Review
