This is a question I asked myself when I was studying algorithms.

Algorithms are important because of how crucial they are to so many real world applications. Just a few examples are web searching, file sharing, file systems, compilers. Getting a computer science job without knowing anything about algorithms would severely limit you, probably would only be able to find a GUI programming job.

Almost all big companies like Microsoft, Google, Yahoo and Amazon use algorithms in their software and look for engineers who understand them very well. Having a very strong grasp of algorithms in a job interview would set you apart from all others who only simply know how to program.

Basically you need to study algorithms because they are used all the time in complex software projects.

In short you want job then learn algorithm.

Is there an algorithm that will automatically solve a Rubik's cube?

Such an algorithm is called a 'God algorithm', from the fact that it would only be known by god/the gods. Although many have tried to find it, none have so far discovered it (assuming it exists). To solve a cube by algorithm, you need to know the appropriate algorithm to apply and when in the stages of solving; different sets can use large numbers of algorithm.

The first step you should take when creating a program is to write an algorithm for it. An algorithm is a programming tool that offers a step by step solution to a programming problem.


What are that attributes of algorithms?

Qualities of a Good Algorithm. Efficiency: A good algorithm should perform its task quickly and use minimal resources. Correctness: It must produce the correct and accurate output for all valid inputs. Clarity: The algorithm should be easy to understand and comprehend, making it maintainable and modifiable.


How can one create an algorithm effectively?

To create an algorithm effectively, one should clearly define the problem, break it down into smaller steps, consider different approaches, test and refine the algorithm, and document the process for future reference.


1 equals n how to find answer n equals 100?

You cannot, unless n is a counter in a program or algorithm for a looping process. In that case, you need to know what the algorithm is doing.
