What Is an Algorithm?

Heading into a series of videos of algorithms, I thought I would make a video that explains to anyone, programmer or not, what an algorithm is. The basics of algorithms are actually pretty simple, as I hope this video makes clear.

Superb explanation as I was fully cleared on sorting

I created in my mind a bunch of invisible slots on the table, then dropped the cards into their slot as I somewhat randomly grabbed them up, and twice I made adjustments to the slots shuffling cards over, and once by adding a card to the end, creating an extra slot. Similar to putting them in your hand, but not the same. I used both hands to grab up cards, which is probably why I made the 'invisible slots'.

Awesomely Explained with perfect example!

So I am not most people. I knew that. I would put the highest or lowest on the right the other extreme on the other and the middle in the middle and using both hands move all them to were they go or I would have moved every other card down and re arranged the two rows as they would be 1/2 sorted already.

Really nice if you can please make algorithms from begging in fast pace not indepth just super fast and covering as much thanks

I went from highest card to lowest because the position of the cards, matching cards closer together .

You are like Mr Garrison but actually smart.

Hey I won 6 of my friends 10 games to 0, all with an algorithm I ran with as a child. 😃

This is kinda boring but I like it and am learning it
