Answer to Question #281377 in C for Jordan Sirpali

Question

. Define basic algorithms to carry out an operation and outline the process of programming an application

Answer 1

Algorithms are the set of rules to solve any problem. To be more specific, it should be unambiguous and finite.

You use algorithms pretty much everywhere. Right from writing the OS of your system to making complex search engines.

The simple addition and subtraction also follow specific algorithms.

The simple 'find in document' also uses string matching algorithm.

The algorithms also extend to complex topics like Artificial intelligence and machine learning. This involves various Natural Language Processing and various pattern classification algorithms.
