Introduction to Programming and Problem Solving | Lecture 2 | Understanding Algorithms

Welcome to the second lecture in our programming and problem-solving series! In this video, we’ll dive into algorithms-what they are, why they’re essential in programming, and how they help us solve problems efficiently.
What We’ll Cover:
What is an Algorithm?
Understand the definition of an algorithm and how it forms the foundation of all programming.
Key Characteristics of Algorithms:
Learn the key traits that make an algorithm effective: clarity, efficiency, and the ability to produce a correct output.
Types of Algorithms:
Explore different kinds of algorithms, including sorting, searching, and graph algorithms. We’ll see how each is used to solve specific types of problems.
Step-by-Step Examples:
We’ll walk through simple examples of algorithms (like finding the largest number in a list) to understand how they work in practice.
By the end of this video, you'll have a solid grasp of how algorithms are designed and implemented to solve real-world problems. Whether you're just starting or looking to deepen your understanding, this lecture will give you the tools to approach coding challenges with confidence.
