Algorithm

An algorithm is a set of rules or a process designed by a computer system to help perform a specific set of functions. Just like a recipe is a step-by-step process to make a meal, algorithms provide a system for completing tasks over and over again perfectly.

In computing, programmers write algorithms that instruct the computer how to perform a task in a repeatable way that saves humans time and money.

Whilst development algorithms begun as very simple processes, the last decade has seen these algorithms get more and more powerful and be able to take on bigger and more complex tasks than ever imagined.

If you are building custom software or application, an experienced development partner will help you review each process and develop algorithms to automate a lot of the process.
