Our Mission
You work at a tech company called "Algo" that develops
algorithms for organizations in need of guidance for decision-
making.
Due to the overload in hospitals, doctors need assistance in
efficiently sorting citizens arriving at the triage rooms!
So... what is an
algorithm,
A precise sequence of steps for performing a task or
solving a problem!

What is a good algorithm?
What is a good algorithm?
Accuracy - successfully solves the problem/task.
Efficiency - solves it in the best possible way.
What does 'in the best way possible' mean?
The runtime of the same program can vary when other
factors run it.
Therefore, we check the maximum number of operations
the system needs to go through to solve the problem or
complete the task.
3 main types
1. Linear algorithm - sequential order of operations
2. Branching algorithm - when there is more than
one path.
3. Cyclic - a sequence of operations that repeats
itself as long as a certain criterion is met.
Often, algorithms are composed of a combination of
several types!
Behind the scenes
The creators of algorithms are human beings, and humans are
prone to making mistakes.
The more we rely on algorithms in our lives, the more we will
need to increase our vigilance in understanding their
composition.
Do you have an example?
