Learn what a data structure is and how data structures are classified, as well as what an algorithm is, how to read and write algorithms using pseudocode, and how to use time and space complexity ...

What that involves is basically not trying to write algorithms in a programming language: If you really want to do things right, you need to write your algorithm in the terms of mathematics. “The ...

A few years ago I used an algorithm to help me write a science fiction story. Adam Hammond, an English professor, and Julian Brooke, a computer scientist, had created a program called SciFiQ, and ...

If this kind of writing can be done by a machine that doesn’t have a single thought in its head, what does that tell us about what we’ve been asking of students.

The code-writing algorithm doesn’t work simply, but here’s how to think of it in simple terms. A math problem has inputs and outputs—or the numbers you have and the number you need to calculate.

There’s a new beat in town: algorithms. From formulas that determine what you see on social media to equations that dictate government operations, algorithms are increasingly powerful and pervasive.
