Pseudocode can be used to plan out programs. Planning a program that asks people what the best subject they take is, would look like this in pseudocode: REPEAT OUTPUT 'What is the best subject you ...

Algorithms are one of the four cornerstones of Computer Science. An algorithm is a plan, a set of step-by-step instructions to solve a problem. If you can tie shoelaces, make a cup of tea, get dressed ...

A number theorist with programming prowess has found a solution to 33 = x³ + y³ + z³, a much-studied equation that went unsolved for 64 years. Now, Andrew Booker, a mathematician at the University of ...

Java programmers use data structures to store and organize data, and we use algorithms to manipulate the data in those structures. The more you understand about data structures and algorithms, and how ...

CSIRO provides funding as a founding partner of The Conversation AU. Data61 provides funding as a member of The Conversation AU. You may have heard that algorithms will take over the world. But how ...

Quantum computers still can’t do much. Almost every time researchers have found something the high-tech machines should one day excel at, a classical algorithm comes along that can do it just as well ...
