What is an algorithm?
Algorithm is a set of steps to complete a task.
For example,
Task: to make a cup of tea.
Algorithm:
• add water and milk to the kettle,
• boilit, add tea leaves,
• Add sugar, and then serve it in cup.
What is Computer algorithm?
‘’a set of steps to accomplish or complete a task that is described precisely enough that a
computer can run it’’.
Described precisely: very difficult for a machine to know how much water, milk to be added
etc. in the above tea making algorithm.
These algorithmsrun on computers or computational devices.Forexample, GPS in our
smartphones, Google hangouts.
GPS uses shortest path algorithm. Online shopping uses cryptography which uses RSA
algorithm.
Characteristics of an algorithm:-
• Must take an input.
• Must give some output(yes/no,valueetc.)
• Definiteness –each instruction is clear and unambiguous.
• Finiteness –algorithm terminates after a finite number of steps.
• Effectiveness –every instruction must be basic i.e. simple instruction.
, Expectation from an algorithm
• Correctness:-
Correct: Algorithms must produce correct result.
Produce an incorrect answer:Even if it fails to give correct results all the time still
there is a control on how often it gives wrong result. Eg.Rabin-Miller PrimalityTest
(Used in RSA algorithm): It doesn’t give correct answer all the time.1 out of 250 times
it gives incorrect result.
Approximation algorithm: Exact solution is not found, but near optimal solution can
be found out. (Applied to optimization problem.)
• Less resource usage:
Algorithms should use less resources (time and space).
Resource usage:
Here, the time is considered to be the primary measure of efficiency .We are also
concerned with how much the respective algorithm involves the computer memory.But
mostly time is the resource that is dealt with. And the actual running time depends on a
variety of backgrounds: like the speed of the Computer, the language in which the
algorithm is implemented, the compiler/interpreter, skill of the programmers etc.
So, mainly the resource usage can be divided into: 1.Memory (space) 2.Time
Time taken by an algorithm?
performance measurement or Apostoriori Analysis: Implementing the algorithm
in a machine and then calculating the time taken by the system to execute the program
successfully.
Performance Evaluation or Apriori Analysis. Before implementing the algorithm in a
system. This is done as follows
