Programming:Algorithms

A formal methodology to solve a particular problem usually combined with a study of different degrees of performance constitute an algorithm. Algorithms can be purely theoretical or implemented by a computer program. Where theoretical algorithms are usually classified in categories according to complexity [1], implemented algorithms are usually profiled to test routines for efficiency. Note that although an algorithm can be theoretically performant, it can be poorly implemented wasting valuable computer resources. (see Algorithmic information theory for more information)
