Algorithms in programming
TMA#1 Activity 1.8 Blog post Algorithms in programming What is an Algorithm? An algorithm is a set of step by step instructions for solving a problem to achieve a result’. Algorithms are especially important to computers because computers are general purpose machines for solving problems. In order for a computer to be useful, we must give it a problem to solve and a technique for solving the problem. How does the algorithm in programming make working so easy? The subject field of algorithms has grown so deep and wide that the theories and the basics that are laid down will help us attack any computational problem. There are so many efficient algorithms that are already published like binary search, bubble sort , insertion sort, merge sort , quick sort , Euclid’s algorithms to find the GCM, Prim’s algorithms to find the shortest path in the graph, etc. There are so many kinds o...
