The advantages of algorithms are:

1.They are easy to understand

2.They are easy to implement

3.They are easy to modify

4.They are not dependent on any particular computer language.

advantages of algorithm

  • it is a step-by-step rep. of a solution to a given prblem ,which is very easy to understand
  • it has got a definite procedure.
  • it easy to first develope an algorithm,&then convert it into a flowchart &then into a computer program.
  • it is independent of programming language.
  • it is easy to debug as every step is got its own logical sequence.

disadvantages of algorithm

it is time consuming & cubersome as an algorithm is developed first which is converted into flowchart &then into a

computer program.

Think of an example. You keep ten distinguishable balls in a line. Now I tell you to search for a blue ball which is the 5th ball in the line. Now the most basic method will be to start comparing the balls from one end of the queue. But the most less time consuming way will be 2 find the ball at the center of the queue.

We see that the second method is much less time consuming than the first method. The first method is called linear method for searching and the second method is called the binary method for searching.

We want our programs to run faster and use as less memory as possible. Hence we develop and analyze algorithms for this purpose. Ultimately we try aiming at a smarter program that anyone can use with as much less hustle as we can encounter.

The general idea is to develop algorithms that (a) work at all, (b) work more efficiently - i.e., using a reasonable amount of computer memory and time.
