Proposal: In what way can we optimize the most effective search algorithm to find missing things? By using statistical analysis, I can find the optimal search algorithm, and apply such search methods to find missing things. I will be modeling an example of how this method can be applied by using the game Battleship.
I will develop a program that plays the game Battleship. My base line for comparison will be using a random search pattern to find all the enemy's ships. I will then start by developing an algorithm to search for the largest ship first. My third algorithm is to find the smallest ship first.
