0 a set of mathematical instructions or rules that, especially if given to a computer, will help to calculate an answer to a problem:
Music apps use algorithms to predict the probability that fans of one particular band will like another.
1 a list of instructions for solving a problem
2 a set of mathematical instructions that must be followed in a fixed order, and that, especially if given to a computer, will help to calculate an answer to a mathematical problem:
"I asked her how to find the calling procedure's program counter on the stack and she came up with an algorithm in real time."
Additionally, a more intelligent algorithm may imply more long-term complexity cost and bug-chasing than are justified by the speed improvement.
The choice for people then is made by some algorithm or calculating machine.
Those who are convinced that such patterns and algorithms capture the complete essence of the self view this prospect with pleasant anticipation.
The general idea of the algorithm is as follows.
The following algorithm is used to construct general calottes.
This algorithm used the one-dimensional central section of the filter.
