An algorithm is an essential part of computer science and every application uses an algorithm to transform and utilize data, it is important that you understand how to structure your data properly.
An algorithm is a finite set of instructions or logic, written in order, to accomplish a certain predefined task or get the desired output. It is said to be efficient and fast, Algorithms are generally created independent of underlying languages,i.e. an algorithm can be implemented in more than one programming language.
The algorithm is not the complete code, it is just the core logic(solution) of a problem.
Good knowledge of standard algorithms is equally important as choosing the right data structure. The following is a list of the top 10 algorithms every computer scientist should know.
Insertion Sort Algorithm
Selection Sort Algorithm
Counting Sort Algorithm
Binary Search Algorithm
Merge Sort Algorithm
Lee Algorithm
Quicksort Algorithm
Huffman Coding Compression Algorithm
Quickselect Algorithm
Euclid’s Algorithm
