What is an algorithm

What is an algorithm?


The set of rules or processes to solve the problem step by step is known as an algorithm.


introduction of the algorithm:


Why need to learn algorithm?


Firstly, the algorithm introduces by the musa-al-Khwarizmi 1300 years ago.He is also called the founder of computer science. Because the computer works on the algorithm. In the computer, million of the algorithms are running.



For example, you want to know about the address of your friend. your friend tell you to address like that take right from your house, skip three streets, turn left and 3rd house.



This address is much easier to follow these steps to reach the destination. In the same way, algo work follows the steps to reach your destination. In the computer solving problem, the algorithm works to reach the desired output.



Take another example of sorting, the sorting is used in the computer on a large scale. Fetching the data from the server, email list, folders, google use sorting very much. Google always tries to find an efficient algorithm of the sorting.



There are a lot of algos of the sorting available like, selection sort, graph search, and merge sort, etc.


Example of the algorithm:


Take the average of the three number

Psuedo code:


1-declare  variables num1,num2,num3,sum,and average.

2-take input three number  from the user in num1,num2,num3

3-add the num1,num2,num3 variables and assign to the sum

4-divide the sum by the three and assign to the average.

5-display the average.



The step by step process makes the easy to achieve the desired output. In this way algorithm help in computer science.No doubt, without algorithm computer science is useless.


Find the factorial of the number 5

pseudo-code:
1-declare and define the variables num=5,factorial=1.
2-use for loop initializes by num and terminate condition >1.
3-In the body of the loop, factorial multiple by the counter of the loop and save the value in the factorial variable again.
4-After the loop terminates,factorial of the 5 is saved in the factorial variable.

Difference between good and bad algorithm:


Good algorithm 

             

1-input or output precisely defined

2-take less runtime

3-each step performed in the  finite time

4-The each step should not be repeated infinitely.

5-steps in the proper manner


  Bad algorithm


1-no proper defined input or output

2-large runtime

3-step performed with large time

4-steps is not the proper manner

5-not generic

    

A good also help in the performance speed of the processer of the computer. If the good algorithm work on the old processor then works the same as on the advance processor.

HOW TO COUT IN C++ In this article, you will learn how to cout in CPP  and use of cout in the program with the help of Examples.  In the CPP language displaying things on the console is not a difficult task. First of all build-in library add on the top of the program. The library is used for cout and cin in the cpp language is iostream library. The syntax of the cout in cpp: cout<<" your message "; The universal problem about to print hello world in c++.Here is an example of how to print hello world in cpp. Print hello world #include<iostream> using namespace std; int main() { cout<<" hello world"<<endl; } output: hello world

Flutter layout

In this blog post, we will explore some of the key concepts and techniques used in Flutter layout and provide examples of how to build a layout for a Flutter application. Widgets and Elements Widgets are the building blocks of a Flutter UI. A widget can be thought of as a self-contained unit of UI, such as a button or a text field. Elements are the instances of widgets that are displayed on the screen. For example, if you have a button widget in your Flutter UI, there will be an element that represents that button on the screen. Layout Widgets Layout widgets are widgets that are specifically designed to control the positioning and sizing of other widgets in a Flutter UI. The most commonly used layout widgets in Flutter are: Container: The Container widget is used to create a rectangular box in a Flutter application. It can be used to add padding, margins, and borders to the widget it contains. Row: The Row widget is used to display a horizontal row of widgets in a Flutter application.

input by cin in c++

Cin in CPP In this post, we shall learn about how to take input with the help of in the cin and uses it in the CPP language. Taking input in cpp is not a difficult task. The object which is used for taking input in cpp is the cin . The library which is allowed to use the cin object is the iostream. Method for including the iostream library in the program. The syntax is here: #include<iostream> How to take input in c++? CIN  is used for taking any kind of data from the user. The data may be int, float, and char.cin is also used to taking string in the CPP. If someone learns CPP then cin is important to use because it allows to user to interact with your program. The program will be user friendly and generic by using a cin object.
