Explanation of algorithm

Many systems at Systems2follow make use of algorithms.

Therefore, here is a brief explanation of what algorithms are

What is an algorithm in formal systems?

Algorithms in formal systems are essential to the way computers process information, for example, because a computer programme is a formal algorithm that tells the computer which specific steps to perform in a specific order in order to achieve a certain end result.

Where is an algorithm the description of a problem?

Whereas an algorithm is the description of a solution to a problem, a computer programme (in some programming language) is the implementation of that algorithm. For example, an algorithm for a calculation with real numbers may assume exact calculations, while the implementation determines how large the rounding errors may be.

Why are algorithms separate from computer programmes?

Algorithms are in principle independent of computer programmes, although computers are often used to implement them. The purpose of an algorithm is to solve a problem with a clear result.
