AQA A-level Computer Science (7517)Specification point 4.4.4.5

AQA 7517 4.4.4.5: Classification of algorithmic problems

The free BugBot lessons that teach this point, a robot to try it on, and the past-paper questions that test it.

Lessons that teach it

  1. A6.7 Limits of computation: tractable and intractable problems Theory of computation
    How complexity and hardware limit computation, tractable and intractable problems, and a heuristic route for the robot.
  2. A6.10 Project: the mission robot Theory of computation
    Validate a mission with a regular expression, carry it out with a Mealy machine, and report with sets.

Try it on a robot
