Computer Science Basics: Algorithms

We use computers every day, but how often do we stop and think, “How do they do what they do?” This video series explains some of the core concepts behind computer science.

The video helped me to understand how algorithms are used in the daily life and how the errors affect the overall process. The actual definition of algorithm is very effectively explained

[@seshagiribhamidi9]

I have understood that an algorithm is a set of steps that must be followed in order to complete a certain task and attain the desired outcome. If the steps of the algorithm are not followed correctly, then the desired outcome will not be obtained

An algorithm is a set of instructions that can be used to perform task in our daily life.

I love grid-like graphics and animations. It would be great if you went just a little into the actual flow charts and how they break the process down.

[@aahanasunkara4718]

Alogorithms is a process similar to the process we use in our everyday lives. It involves a step to step process and computers use algorithms that can calculate things faster and more efficiently.

[@warrensnook9435]

As someone who teaches secondary math and programming, I often feel at an advantage over other math teachers without the computer science background. Math and computer science are intertwined with one another and I can relate topics together well, especially algorithms. For example, in my coding elective, I explain to students that solving a system of equations is an algorithm, because there are certain steps that you have to take to solve for x and y. That entire process to get the solution is an algorithm.

👍🏼 This video is a great introduction to algorithms and their importance in computer science. It's clear and concise, making it easy for beginners to understand. 🤓 I also love how the video emphasizes the practical applications of algorithms in everyday technology, like navigation apps 🗺. Overall, a well-done video! 🎉

[@chaneychane9339]

The explanation and the animation makes it easy to understand. Thank you so much!

[@GCFLearnFree]

You're very welcome!

[@Baldrick_dogsbody]

The best explanation of algorithms I have seen so far.

[@GCFLearnFree]

Wow, thanks!

[@laasyachaganti2996]

algorithm is set of steps to complete a specific task and they allow things like computers and smart phones to function and make certain decisions

[@PierrotMyBeloved]

Thank you so much!! I have an ICT exam and this video is very helpful!! Tysm ^^

[@erfanungkushamir338]

This helps with my computer science lesson a lot, thank you.

[@neilhess2518]

This was an EXCELLENT explanation. Thank you.

[@mihikavuppula6752]

algorithms can be used to perform everyday tasks, programs are made of algorithms telling them what to do, computers can calculate things more efficiently than us using algorithms

[@cupcakes4100]

That was a pretty animation👀 thank you for explaining!

[@GCFLearnFree]

Sure thing!

There is a good documentary on Netflix on this subject: The Secret Rules of Modern Living: Algorithms (2015)

[@johnnycincocero]

Sweet. Thanks for the recommendation.

[@Andrew-hk5zs]

Its gone.... on netflix. But i believe MindLensMovies uploaded the documentary to youtube.

An algorithm is a set of instructions for solving a problem or accomplishing a task

[@yallaintit]

So an algorithm is just functions that have to be run in order to solve a problem?

How do you animate your tutorials?
I also want to create tutorials for computer science :D

i was trying to find how to make a spaghatti because i brought it for the first time...so i don't know how to cook it ...later there was my computer class at 11am my teacher said a word called ALGORITHMS..i was not able to understand it so i searched in you tube i got this and i got my both answers now

[@SurajJAIN111]

How make this type of video
