I'm dominated by algorithmic shadows--What kind of ghost?

What is an algorithm?

Now, as a little white me (Zeng), thinking about discussing this issue and writing it into this essay should be an act of arrogance and hubris.

Although the written things may have a lot of errors, will make people laughable, but to delve into the algorithm, or to think about the nature of the algorithm is what.

There are several main arguments for this problem:

1. The algorithm is the step to solve the problem

2. The algorithm refers to the accurate and complete description of the solution , is a series of clear instructions to solve the problem, the algorithm represents the system to describe the problem of the solution Policy mechanism . (from "Baidu Encyclopedia")

3. The algorithm (algorithm) is a well-defined calculation process that takes a set of values or values as input and produces a set of values or values as output. (from the introduction of algorithms)

But at the beginning of the introduction to the algorithm, it describes a scenario in which the computer is infinitely fast and the computer's memory is infinitely large and free .

I think in such a scenario, the algorithm is definitely meaningless (at that time the complexity and space complexity of the total no comparison of any significance), then this time the algorithm is a thing, is not the algorithm does not exist.

Then the introduction of the algorithm is proposed as a technique .

Because I want to implement this algorithm in a computer with limited resources , I recognize that the algorithm is a kind of technology that saves time and space resources .

Because of the limited resources, so the evaluation of an algorithm, from the time complexity and space complexity to see.

time complexity : Time complexity refers to the amount of computational effort required to execute an algorithm (the run time of an algorithm).

spatial Complexity : a measure of how much storage space is temporarily occupied by an algorithm while it is running.

Because Zeng (author) level is not good, can only suppress such a little paradoxical thing out, in the thinking of what is the algorithm, there are many very philosophical ideas in mind.

Nature is not an algorithm that exists to let everything run.

The human mind is not an algorithm.

......

Do not want to, think of the brain wide pain, we read this essay, there is an idea can comment on the message, perhaps the big God saw, on the way to our popular science

Feel the writing is not good, then you smile and live well.
