No. Indeed, algorithms are actually meant for humans, not computers. Computer programmers translate algorithms into working code such that a computer can process the algorithm. The code is actually the implementation of the algorithm, not the algorithm itself.

Can computers design algorithm?

No. Current computers may appear to be able to design algorithms, but they can really only give pre-determined answers setup by the programmer.


What are the various classifications of algorithms?

Algorithms can be classified in several ways, including by their design paradigm, such as divide and conquer, dynamic programming, greedy algorithms, and backtracking. They can also be categorized based on their purpose, such as search algorithms, sorting algorithms, and optimization algorithms. Additionally, algorithms can be distinguished by their complexity, specifically time complexity and space complexity, to evaluate their efficiency. Lastly, they may be classified based on their application domains, such as machine learning algorithms, cryptographic algorithms, and graph algorithms.


When was Introduction to Algorithms created?

Introduction to Algorithms was created in 1990.


What strategies are most useful in helping me develop algorithms for adding subtracting multiplying and dividing positive and negative numbers?

You mean arithmetic. Your best strategy would be to use the algorithms that already exist. They are already well-established, highly-efficient and bug-free. By all means study them to improve your understanding of how they work (although you should already know how they work), but don't waste any time trying to improve upon them. After all, humans have been performing arithmetic for thousands of years, the only thing that's actually changed in all that time is the notation; the algorithms themselves were already in place long before we ever had computers.


What is asm in sorting algorithms?

'ASM' is sort for Assembly, it has nothing to do with sorting algorithms.

What is meant by embedded?

These are dedicated, special-purpose computers. They are often entire computers on an single chip. In comparison to general purpose computers, they are less expensive and more reliable, since they are used only for limited tasks.
