Basics of Algorithms in Computer Science

An algorithm is a step-by-step procedure or formula for solving a problem. In computer


science, algorithms are used to perform tasks ranging from simple arithmetic to complex
machine learning. Key properties of algorithms include clarity, efficiency, and finiteness.
Common types include sorting algorithms (like QuickSort and MergeSort), searching
algorithms (like binary search), and pathfinding algorithms (like Dijkstra's algorithm).
Understanding algorithms is essential for efficient programming and problem-solving.
