Hi,
Learning to write code to implement algorithms is a very
important skill if you are in the IT industry or studying Computer
Science.
Try to search the Internet for both algorithms in
pseudocode. Sometimes, they come with Java applets to help you
visualise the action of carrying the instructions. At the same
time, learn matlab through its help section or through online
tutorials to understand how to use the language in the shortest
possible time.
Jiayou!
Cheers,
