Question 1

Agrippa Models want to start selling model kits in parts, they expect a small number of sales, but wish to offer their customers customisations of the models they manufacture. Devise the algorithms they will need to hold the data for their orders and inventory. Additionally they will need to create an order, delete an order, or modify an order. An order will consists of a model specification made up of several parts. Each part has a unique code number, and there are ten parts per model. They will typically sell less than 100 of any one model per month. Describe which abstract data type would be best for holding this data. Discuss the complexity for each of the operations listed previously. Apply Big O notation, complete with how you arrive at your final evaluation. Include the algorithms steps and constants. Include pseudo-code for the implementation of each of the operations listed, i.e. create, delete and update an order. You may include actual language code as an alternative; comments in your code can count towards your word count, at a maximum ratio of one comment line per three lines of code. Consider a selection of algorithms and abstract data types, and compare the suitability of each to the business requirement described above. Do not include detailed descriptions of any algorithms and abstract data types considered, only describe why they are suitable, or
not, for the company’s requirements
