Final Remarks
Here's a quick summary of what we learned from the "Fusion" module.
We'll cover the following
Congratulations! You have successfully completed the “Fusion” module.
Summary
Information processing and decision-support problems in various domains, such as scheduling, social media applications, and I/O algorithms, require us to merge information coming from multiple sources. In this module, we learned how to use the Merge Intervals and K-way Merge patterns to solve problems where we need to merge lists of structurally homogeneous data. Using the Merge Intervals pattern, we learned to efficiently manipulate time interval data by leveraging the natural order of time data. Practice with the K-way Merge pattern has equipped us with the techniques needed to compute a global sorted order based on individually sorted streams and locate target data in individually sorted streams.
What's Next
Now that we have gained hands-on experience with merging data from multiple sources, we will learn how to solve problems requiring exhaustive search of the solution space, in the next module, “Go With the Flow.”
