Duration: 10h. In this module the student will learn the very basics of algorithms through three examples: insertion sort (sort an array in ascending/descending order); binary search: search whether ...

Usually, we specify the complexity of an algorithm using the notation O(.), which indicate 'the order of'. For example, the complexity of sorting N numbers using the bubble sort method is O(N2) and ...

When asked to create a sorting algorithm, AlphaDev came up with one that was 70 per cent faster than the best for lists of five pieces of data and 1.7 per cent faster for lists of over 250,000 items.

An artificial intelligence (AI) system based on Google DeepMind’s AlphaZero AI created algorithms that, when translated into the standard programming language C++, can sort data up to three ...
