These logical comparisons are key to the basic functions an algorithm contains. This flowchart may seem simple enough, but when programmers start to assemble larger pieces of code for complex ...

In this module the student will learn the very basics of algorithms through three examples: insertion sort (sort an array in ascending/descending order); binary search: search whether an element is ...

The question may seem basic ... this flowchart on the back of an envelope so you can work out whether something is using AI or not. This originally appeared in our AI newsletter The Algorithm.
