Is it possible to implement this algorithm in Mathematica?

Posted 11 years ago

After having tried to make the translation of this article was in Spanish, I am writing to share it and to ask them if it is possible to implement it in Mathematica, ask this because my teacher says that the knows how only with object-oriented programming, I'm moving in construction after I will share grasp what I am doing. Greetings to all and any feedback is welcome.

Here is the article, I hope this is understandable.

Whether you're doing object oriented programming or not, the questions you need to ask are "what are my data types?" and "what functions apply to them?". For complicated problems, using a functional programming approach can be good, especially at the start. You break the problem done into small pieces and write functions for each of those small pieces. That makes it easier to debug. Also, rule based programming methods can be used to make simple functions that manipulate the data.

Hi David, you have fully understood the idea of my question, I would comment that I'm trying not to use object oriented programming to solve this problem,but I'm having some problems

I think the original poster is asking if the algorithm described in the attached PDF can be implemented in Mathematica rather than if it can be done in an object oriented programming paradigm (I think he is saying that his advisor is only familiar with OO programming).

Either way, the answer will very likely be "yes". However the PDF is long and detailed and it is probably not likely that someone here will program it for the original poster unless they are already familiar with it. I'd recommend to the original poster to just dive in and start a project of implementing this in Mathematica, learning as he works through it. If he does not feel that he knows enough Mathematica yet to tackle this then reading a book like Paul Wellin's

wold get him started with learning enough to tackle this.
