This is a collection of Python implementations of algorithms discussed in the Cambridge A and A/S Level Computer Science text book. They are also suitable for other exam boards and study at GCSE for more able students. Programs included: Using nested loops to print a rectangular pattern Printing a pyramid pattern - not using functions Printing a pyramid pattern - using functions Printing a hollow pyramid pattern - not using functions Printing a pyramid pattern - using functions These algorithms are fun and satisfying for students due the the pleasing visual output. It is a good idea to give students the chance to implement them for themselves before providing solutions. The Python code given in the teacher’s resource for this course is un-pythonic and often contains errors. The implementations provided here are written in a more pythonic style, are free from errors and provide an intuitive mapping to the pseudo-code given for the algorithms. Please note that I have translated the CIE pseudo-code construct of REPEAT…UNTIL using while True: # commands if condition: break which I consider the best conceptual equivalent. I hope you find this resource helpful.

A word cloud for vocabulary related to OCR GCSE Computer Science Unit 1.1 - Systems Architecture. Mastering the vocabulary for a topic enables students to orient themselves and reason effectively about it. Word clouds provide a great way to familiarise students with key concepts and get a high-level overview of what is involved. They are great for revision as well as initial learning.

It may have struck you that the Python solutions provided in the Cambridge A Level Computer Science Teachers Resource are rather clumsy and contain several errors. This collection of Python versions of the Bubble Sort Algorithm has been battle-tested and is ready for error-free use. You will notice that I have translated the CIE pseudo-code construct of REPEAT...UNTIL using while True: # commands if condition: break which I consider the best conceptual equivalent available in Python. You can also easily use the code to create Bubble Sort practice questions such as: "Suppose you have the following list of numbers to sort: [19, 1, 9, 7, 3, 10, 13, 15, 8, 12] What will the list look like after 3 passes of the bubble sort algorithm?" I hope you find this resource useful. If so, please leave a positive review review to let others know.
