I'm thinking of science fair projects that involve computer science. I was thinking about comparing the performance of different languages running algorithms, etc. I would take the system time at the start and end of the procedure and compare them. I might run the algorithm a thousand times to see the speed changes.

What algorithms / ideas do you have?

I would prolly do C++, Java, Asm, Pascal?

try like a quicksort, or a bubblesort?....some kind of sort algo

what would be really cool would be compareing different speed in a findcolor/getpixel type function...

you could use CreatDIBSection/GetDiBits, then try to create the fastest sorting algo through the pixels returned by the DIB

u can also look @ tolerance with RGB, HSL, XYZ...try to make the fastest, myabe like RGBToHSL, HSLToXYZ converter functions...ect

if ur comparing performance, most universities teach Java instead of C++ now, due to the user friendlyness.

uhmm i'm not sure how this is much of a project. surely in terms of performance from program start to program end : asm > C++ > java ?!?!

you would not even be comparing languages but more compilers optimisations..

I've always found path finding algorithms quite interesting. Dijkstra, A*, etc

my teacher recommended bubblesort to me. I like the pixel ideas.

Slugsnack: It would be comparing optimization alot and showing the difference in speed. I would just have "no idea which is faster" when i first start?

Again this is just an idea and if anyone has any other ideas let me know. I really want to do a project in comp sci but it's a pretty tricky field to pick a topic on (because everything is documented)

this has already been done plenty of times.

If you want to do an algorithm, it will probably be worth it to do something that makes pretty images. Fractals are especially interesting.

Sierpinski triangles are stupidly simple to make.

ummm... how bouts writing a debugger

but thats not really testing anything

my suggestions are better Very Happy

....everyone does bubblesort and fractal algorithms Very Happy

we can compare functions after ur finished, i have both c++ and delphi
