Flowchart of using successive subtractions to find the greatest common divisor of number r and s. In mathematics and computer science, an algorithm (/ ˈ æ l ɡ ə r ɪ ð əm / ⓘ) is a finite sequence of mathematically rigorous instructions, typically used to solve a class of specific problems or to perform a computation.

ALGOL 60 (short for Algorithmic Language 1960) is a member of the ALGOL family of computer programming languages.It followed on from ALGOL 58 which had introduced code blocks and the begin and end pairs for delimiting them, representing a key advance in the rise of structured programming.
Specific applications of search algorithms include: Problems in combinatorial optimization, such as: . The vehicle routing problem, a form of shortest path problem; The knapsack problem: Given a set of items, each with a weight and a value, determine the number of each item to include in a collection so that the total weight is less than or equal to a given limit and the total value is as ...
CHAID is based on a formal extension of AID (Automatic Interaction Detection) [4] and THAID (THeta Automatic Interaction Detection) [5] [6] procedures of the 1960s and 1970s, which in turn were extensions of earlier research, including that performed by Belson in the UK in the 1950s.
Dijkstra's algorithm (/ ˈ d aɪ k s t r ə z / DYKE-strəz) is an algorithm for finding the shortest paths between nodes in a weighted graph, which may represent, for example, a road network.
In computer science, cycle detection or cycle finding is the algorithmic problem of finding a cycle in a sequence of iterated function values.. For any function f that maps a finite set S to itself, and any initial value x 0 in S, the sequence of iterated function values
It's about to be one of the most active dealmaking years for media and entertainment companies in recent memory. 2024 saw crimped deal volumes as interest rates remained elevated and an ...
John Conway, inventor of the Doomsday algorithm. The Doomsday rule, Doomsday algorithm or Doomsday method is an algorithm of determination of the day of the week for a given date.
