A function in programming is different than the typical, mathematical meaning of function because it's a set of instructions implementing an algorithm for calculating a function.Wed, 06 May 2026 02:56:00 GMThttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/algorithm?tab=Newest[algorithm] An algorithm is a sequence of well-defined steps that defines an abstract solution to a problem.

It helps us to measure how well an algorithm scales. How do you calculate or approximate the complexity of your algorithms?Mon, 04 May 2026 05:08:00 GMThttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/3183582/what-is-the-fastest-substring-search-algorithmEach search algorithm comes in several variations that can make significant differences to its performance, as, for example, this paper illustrates. Benchmark your service to categorize the areas where additional search strategies are needed or to more effectively tune your selector function.Wed, 06 May 2026 02:56:00 GMThttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/2307283/what-does-olog-n-mean-exactlyA common algorithm with O (log n) time complexity is Binary Search whose recursive relation is T (n/2) + O (1) i.e. at every subsequent level of the tree you divide problem into half and do constant amount of additional work.Mon, 04 May 2026 13:36:00 GMThttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/8269916/what-is-sliding-window-algorithm-examplesWhile solving a geometry problem, I came across an approach called Sliding Window Algorithm. Couldn't really find any study material/details on it. What is the algorithm about?Sun, 03 May 2026 17:48:00 GMThttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/1364444/difference-between-big-o-and-little-o-notationAlgorithm A can't tell the difference between two similar inputs instances where only x 's value changes. If x is the minimum in one of these instances and not in the other, then A will fail to find the minimum on (at least) one of these two instances. In other words, finding the minimum in an array is in not in o(n) and is therefore in 𝛺(n).Fri, 01 May 2026 14:58:00 GMThttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/1073336/circle-line-segment-collision-detection-algorithmI have a line from A to B and a circle positioned at C with the radius R. What is a good algorithm to use to check whether the line intersects the circle? And at what coordinate along the circles ...Sat, 02 May 2026 03:30:00 GMThttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/9452701/ukkonens-suffix-tree-algorithm-in-plain-englishThe basic algorithm appears to be O (n 2), as is pointed out in most explanations, as we need to step through all of the prefixes, then we need to step through each of the suffixes for each prefix. Ukkonen's algorithm is apparently unique because of the suffix pointer technique he uses, though I think that is what I'm having trouble understanding.Fri, 01 May 2026 17:57:00 GMThttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/2603692/what-is-the-difference-between-depth-and-height-in-a-treeThis is a simple question from algorithms theory. The difference between them is that in one case you count number of nodes and in other number of edges on the shortest path between root and concreteTue, 05 May 2026 17:31:00 GMT
