IB Computer Science 2

Thursday (9/22/11)

Warmup:

1. Pair up with a partner
2. Receive several playing cards from Mr. Bui
3. Shuffle the cards
4. Sort them in numerical order by repeatedly finding the smallest card and separating it

Agenda:

• Introduction to Selection Sort

1. Find the smallest element
2. Move to the front of the array (swap with front)
3. Repeat Steps 1&2, but ignoring the sorted front

• Selection Sort Animation
• Another Selection Sort Animation
• Sorting Animations
• Download Media:SelectionSort.java
  • Fill in the commented parts of the SelectionSort.java file. Where there is a comment, you need to write code.
• Demo SelectionSort
• Add a (s)ort option to your AddressBook
  • In order to compare Strings:

if (str1.compareTo(str2) < 0)
{
  System.out.println(str1 + " goes before " + str2);
}

• So inside your AddressBook, you'd have something like this:

if (myContacts[i].getLastName().compareTo(myContacts[j].getLastName()) < 0)
