Basic Algorithms

Step-by-step instructions for solving problems

Algorithms are the heart of computer science, providing step-by-step instructions for solving problems. Understanding basic algorithms is fundamental for every programmer, as they form the building blocks for more complex solutions. In this section, we´ll explore simple examples of common algorithms like sorting and searching, showcasing different problem-solving approaches and their implementations.

Sorting Algorithms:

Bubble Sort:
Description: Bubble sort repeatedly steps through the list, compares adjacent elements, and swaps them if they are in the wrong order.
Example:

Copy Text (You can Paste it in your code using Ctrl-B o Ctrl-V)

Selection Sort:
Description: Selection sort repeatedly finds the minimum element from the unsorted part of the array and swaps it with the first unsorted element.
Example:

Copy Text (You can Paste it in your code using Ctrl-B o Ctrl-V)

Searching Algorithms:

Linear Search:
Description: Linear search sequentially checks each element of the list until a match is found or the whole list has been searched.
Example:

Copy Text (You can Paste it in your code using Ctrl-B o Ctrl-V)

Binary Search:
Description: Binary search works on sorted arrays by repeatedly dividing the search interval in half until the target element is found or the interval is empty.
Example:

Copy Text (You can Paste it in your code using Ctrl-B o Ctrl-V)

Understanding these basic algorithms and their implementations is crucial for any programmer. They lay the foundation for more complex algorithms and problem-solving techniques used in various fields of computer science.
