Session Goal

The session aimed to explore and implement a greedy algorithm to solve the β€˜Parejas de Baile’ problem, focusing on pairing dancers based on skill levels and other constraints.

Key Activities

  • Provided a detailed explanation of the β€˜Parejas de Baile’ problem, including matching rules and guidance for educational activities.
  • Created visual representations and diagrams to illustrate the problem and algorithmic flow.
  • Expanded on the greedy strategy, including pseudocode and implementation guidelines.
  • Conducted a programming session to implement the greedy solution, emphasizing collaboration and active participation.
  • Analyzed the pairing logic in set theory, critiquing previous approaches and suggesting improvements.
  • Demonstrated the correctness of the algorithm using loop invariants and inductive reasoning.

Achievements

  • Successfully developed a comprehensive guide and visual aids for understanding and implementing the greedy algorithm for the β€˜Parejas de Baile’ problem.
  • Clarified the algorithm’s correctness through formal demonstrations and theoretical analysis.

Pending Tasks

  • Further exploration of alternative algorithms that optimize pairing beyond the greedy approach.
  • Consideration of additional constraints and attributes in the pairing process.
