• Lunch Buffet at £3.50 per head

• Flip chart and pens at an extra £5.
Test Booking data
Designing an algorithm that only accounts for this specific set will achieve 50% of the marks for the algorithm. Higher grades will be achieved for making parts of your algorithm generic to any data set.
Part 1: You should submit a report (1000 words +/--10%) that includes the following:
• Discussion of research and sources you have used to help you develop the algorithm
• The assumptions you have made
• The limitations of your algorithm
• Your final algorithm design (as an embedded image in the appendix)
Part 2: You will be asked to demonstrate how your algorithm works and explain the benefits and limitations of developing software solutions to common problems such as that in the scenario.
