5 Algorithms that Changed the World AISOMA AG Frankfurt

An algorithm is an unambiguous rule of action to solve a problem or a class of problems. Algorithms consist of a finite number of well-defined individual steps. Thus, they can be implemented in a computer program for execution, but can also be formulated in human language. When solving a problem, a specific input is converted into a particular output. In the following, five algorithms are listed that have significantly influenced our world.
