How do you choose the right program when there are so many to choose from? Which rules should you follow?

Python Algorithms Part 1 – Binary SearchLet's play a little game to give you an idea of how different algorithms for the same problem can have wildly different efficiencies. If I choose an integer from 1 to 16 and ask you to guess what the number is, you can keep guessing numbers until you hit on it. When you guess wrong, I tell you whether you are too high or too low. Once you've guessed the number, think about the technique you used to decide each of your next guesses.If you guessed 1, then 2, then 3, then 4, and so on, until you guessed the right number, you used an approach called “linear search,” meaning you guessed the numbers serially and sequentially, as if they were lined up in a row. This is definitely one way to find the mystery number, but it could require as many as 16 guesses. However, you could get lucky, if the number was 1, you’d only need 1 guess. Using a linear search process, on average, you'd need 8 guesses.There is an approach that is more efficient than just…

Overview In this assignment, you will gain more practice with designing a program. Specifically, you will create pseudocode for a higher/lower game. This will give you practice designing a more complex program and allow you to see more of the benefits that designing before coding can offer. The higher/lower game will combine different programming constructs that you have been learning about, such as input and output, decision branching, and a loop. Higher/Lower Game DescriptionYour friend Maria has come to you and said that she has been playing the higher/lower game with her three-year-old daughter Bella. Maria tells Bella that she is thinking of a number between 1 and 10, and then Bella tries to guess the number. When Bella guesses a number, Maria tells her whether the number she is thinking of is higher or lower or if Bella guessed it. The game continues until Bella guesses the right number. As much as Maria likes playing the game with Bella, Bella is very excited to play the game…
