  1. An algorithm can be a part of a computer program.
  2. An algorithm can be a written paper procedure for a human to read and follow. (e.g. you bought a new device to use on your computer, it comes with a procedure to set it up, connect it, and install drivers.)

Once an algorithm has been developed, no thinking is required just mechanically follow the steps until finished. This makes it ideal for both computers (which understand nothing) and people that may not fully understand all of what they are doing.

What is auxiliary space and how does it impact the efficiency of algorithms?

Auxiliary space refers to the extra space or memory that an algorithm uses to perform its operations. It impacts the efficiency of algorithms because algorithms with higher auxiliary space requirements may consume more memory and potentially slow down the overall performance of the algorithm. In contrast, algorithms with lower auxiliary space requirements are generally more efficient as they use less memory and can run faster.


Who uses algorithms today?

Algorithms are used by a wide range of industries and individuals today. Tech companies utilize them for data analysis, recommendation systems, and improving user experiences on platforms like social media and e-commerce. Financial institutions employ algorithms for trading, risk assessment, and fraud detection. Additionally, everyday users encounter algorithms in applications such as search engines, navigation apps, and personalized content feeds.

What are the differences between the Edmonds-Karp and Ford-Fulkerson algorithms for solving the maximum flow problem?

The main difference between the Edmonds-Karp and Ford-Fulkerson algorithms is in how they choose the augmenting paths to increase the flow in the network. Edmonds-Karp uses breadth-first search to find the shortest augmenting path, while Ford-Fulkerson can use any path. This difference affects the efficiency and running time of the algorithms.
