  • Live: Run Solutions in Scoring Application
  • Award Ceremony (Logan Herr)
  • Sorting & Searching in LabVIEW (Dmitry)
  • Hash Table Example (Jason Dunham)
  • Winner Solution Highlights (All Winners)
  • More Challenges Ahead?

See attached presentation for details. The PowerPoint version has some animations, which are missing from the PDF version.

The Challenge (Search Static Lookup Table):

Winner         Score: 205      Jason Dunham (Hashed Arrays)
2nd Place     Score: 140     Nick Iliev          (Variant Attributes)

However, Binary Search was the best/fastest solution (Score: 310)

The Grand Challenge (Search/Update Dynamic Lookup Table)

Winner         Score: 224      Jason Dunham   (Hashed Arrays)
2nd Place     Score: 157      Nick Iliev            (Variant Attributes)

Take Home Message:

  • Use Binary Search with Static Data …
  • Use Hashing or Variant Attributes with Dynamic Data …
  • Focus on using the right Algorithms and keep your code simple - let G compiler do its job on data copy management
  • Take the LabVIEW OOP Training
  • Win the next Coding Challenge
