Algorithms


  • Just about any computing problem can be solved by executing a series of actions in a specific order.
  • An algorithm is a procedure for solving problem in terms of 
    1. the action to be performed
    2. the order in which these actions are to be executed
  • Effective planning and design make computer programming a much more time effective and efficient process
  • Algorithms allow us to plan and design our computer programs
  • Producing a computer program without planning and designing is like tyr to find an address without a map.
  • Algorithms are developed by breaking a problem in small logic steps and them placing each of those steps in the correct order.
    • Think about all the actions you need to perform to drive to the shops
    • write them all down
    • then place each of the actions you have written down in the correct order
    • you have just developed a basic algorithm
