🕒 16:30–16:40
🏷️ Labels: Greedy Algorithm, Balance Adjustment, Function Redefinition, Algorithm Comparison
📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM

Session Goal:

The session aimed to improve the greedy algorithm approach for adjusting numerical balances, exploring its limitations and potential alternatives.

Key Activities:

  • Reflection on Greedy Algorithm Limitations: Discussed the challenges of using a greedy algorithm in numerical problems, particularly its inability to handle differences effectively.
  • Algorithm Improvement Proposal: Suggested a method to track differences more precisely and considered the practicality of a brute force approach.
  • Execution and Debugging: Re-executed the saldos_sospechosos_mejorado function due to an execution environment error.
  • Algorithm Comparison: Compared outputs between the greedy and brute force approaches, highlighting discrepancies.
  • Function Redefinition: Planned to redefine saldos_sospechosos and brute_force_saldos functions for further comparison.

Achievements:

  • Identified the limitations of the greedy approach and proposed a refined method for balance adjustment.
  • Highlighted the need for redefining functions to ensure accurate comparisons.

Pending Tasks:

  • Redefine the functions saldos_sospechosos and brute_force_saldos for thorough comparison in future sessions.
