MD5 isn't a encryption algorithm, it's a hashing algorithm.

Encryption will 'hide' the meaning of the encrypted text, while MD5 will 'add up' all the text to come up with a number. This number can be compared to another time this file was 'added up', to provide a simple kind of check to see if the text has been changed or if it is the same.

Algorithm to find the smallest number among three numbers in C programming language?

It's an algorithm you want, or a C program? Here is the algorithm: min3 (a, b, c) := min2 (a, min2 (b, c)) min2 (x, y) := y if x>y; x otherwise


Which search algorithm is best?

The question is a bit too vague for a meaningful answer, it depends on what you are searching and what you are looking for.For search in an unsorted list, there is no better alternative than the naive algorithm of looking at every single element.For search in a sorted list (like a phone book sorted on name) binary search is much more efficient.For string search, like used in biology to find DNA matches, there are dedicated algorithms that deal exclusively with string matching.For graph search, A* ("A star") is among the better.For more general search problems there are a whole host of search methods that work better than others in particular domains. But so far, there is no ultimate winner that is best for everything. The best ones are generally custom made for one particular problem, like the best known algorithm for the Travelling Salesman Problem.See also related link.


Write an algorithm and draw a corresponding flowchart to find the greatest number and its position among the 6 given numbers?

Algorithm Step1: Read A, B, C Step2: If A > B is True, then check whether A > C, if yes then A is greatest otherwise C is greatest Step3: If A > B is False, then check whether B > C, if yes then B is greatest otherwise C is greatest Give the Flowchart Answer


Advantages of the backtracking algorithm?

Backtracking algorithmn finds minimal path among the all.The main advantage of back tracking algorithmn as compare with greedy is to find minimal distance.In greedy ,it does.t know the optimal solution.It is used in Google earth.


What is an Algorithm for sort an list?

There are a great many sorts, Mergesort and Quicksort being among the most popular. These both have on the order of n*log n expected case runtime, and while Quicksort can get as bad as n^2, this is unlikely due to most implementations using a random pivot. If you can make the assumption that ONLY NUMBERS will be sorted, you can use RadixSort, which is the fastest known sort for numbers. As for how to sort in particular programming languages, consult your local API (in C++ it is in the STL's "algorithm" include file).

Does the Data Encryption Standard DES have perfect secrecy?

DES is a widely-used method of data encryption using a private key that was judged so difficult to break by the U.S. government that it was restricted for exportation to other countries. There are 72,000,000,000,000,000 (72 quadrillion) possible encryption keys that can be used. For each given message, the key is chosen at random from among this enormous number of keys.

What is searching in an algorithm?

seraching of algorithm is finding an item with specified properties among a collection of items. The items may be stored individually as records in a database; or may be elements of a search space defined by a mathematical formula or procedure, such as the roots of an equation with integer variables; or a combination of the two, such as the Hamiltonian circuits of a graph

Does Dijkstra's Algorithm work when there might be arcs with negative weights?

No, Dijkstra's algorithm can not be used when there are negative arc lengths. In Dijkstra's, the vertex that can be reached from the current set of labeled vertices and that of having the minimum weight among the alternatives is permanently labeled in that iteration. Since a negative arc weight would result in changing the label of a pre-permanently-labeled vertex, the algo collapses. Bellman's algorithm is used with negative arc lengths.
