An Algorithm is essentially the brains behind a computer program. It is a process or set of rules to be followed in calculations or other problem-solving operations, especially by a computer. Algorithms perform calculations, data processing, and/or automated reasoning tasks. In essence, students’ to understand and develop algorithms to solve problems is critical and would be highly valued in the future world of automation.

In this course, students develop an in-depth understanding of algorithms. They learn to analyse algorithms and develop an appreciation of an efficient algorithm. They will also learn the key algorithms commonly used in programming. Together with knowledge on data structures, students will be exposed to a variety of options to create complex algorithms to solve real problems. An example being the using of recursion and the shortest path algorithm to travel to a destination (Eg. Google Maps).
