Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
Develop algorithm to create the structure of K’Nex pieces in the picture.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
The knowns, unknowns and assumptions of the above mentioned problem, that is, to construct the K’Nex structure.
Knowns:
- Structure of K’Nex available in pictorial format.
- Information about different pieces of K’Nex.
- Amount of K’Nex pieces needed for the structure.
Unknowns:
- Steps to construct the K’Nex structure.
Assumptions:
- The structure made from K’Nex components.
Algorithm:
- Observe the K’Nex structure’s picture carefully.
- List the components needed to construct the structure conveniently.
- Gather the pieces required for the structure.
- For any other pieces required follow the Master Material List for the purchasing information.
