This is a multi part series on implementing Clever Algorithms by Jason Brownlee in Python. See overview, Part 1.
In part 2 we look at the following Stochastic Algorithms: Iterated Local Search, Guided…

Stochastic Algorithms are primarily global optimization algorithms. A stochastic process is one whose…
In Part 1 we discussed the base technique for determining relative orientation. We used that to answer the first two questions: To find relative orientation of two points and two directed segments with a common end point. In Part 2 we answer the next…
Computational Geometry (CG) deals with algorithms for solving geometric problems. It is used in computer graphics, robotics, computer aided design,statistics among others. A typical CG problem takes as input a set of geometric objects like a set of…
If you haven’t heard about “GodMode” in Windows 7, then read on. Windows 7 has a “GodMode” feature, which isn’t as grandiose as it sounds. Actually GodMode is not even the name that Microsoft has given it. In fact Microsoft doesn’t have an official name for it, as the feature itself is…
