Join Joe Marini for an in-depth discussion in this video Common algorithms in programming, part of Programming Foundations: Algorithms.
- [Instructor] Now that we've seen what an algorithm is,…we can investigate some of the more common ones…that appear in a variety of programming scenarios.…One of the most common algorithm types you'll run into…are searching algorithms and these pop up…in cases where you need to find a specific piece of data…inside a larger data structure.…For example, searching for a substring inside…of a larger string, or maybe finding a file…within a set of nested folders on a file system.…Sorting algorithms are another very common type…used when working with ordered sets of data.…
And, as you might have guessed, they take a set of data,…and place it into a particular order.…Computational algorithms are used to take one set of data…and derive another set of data from it.…And a simple example might be calculating…whether a given number is a prime number…or maybe computing a temperature in one scale…when you already have it in another scale.…And finally, there are collection algorithms,…which involve manipulating or navigating…
