- Algorithm Creation - Creating any algorithm takes time. Creating error free algorithms takes a long time. The best

way to understand an algorithm is to grind through the process of errors and exceptions. If the structure is not right

try different solutions until the correct solution is found. Always logically work out the steps and there is always more

than one way to do things.

Starting from raw data is always the most challenging part of creating an algorithm. The data may or may not contain

any direct clues on how to systematically break it down into logic. The first step is to analyze the data and try

to decipher any patterns or commonalities. Many sets of data have common patterns that can be exploited.

Trying to create an algorithm while trying to incorporate each special case will result in an infinity of debugging.

To create an algorithm start with the largest case. This may be the most commonly used case or the case that

the most complex, however if it is to complex it should possibly be split up into smaller algorithms. If the purpose

of the algorithm cannot be summed in one sentence it should generally be divided apart.

When the main section of the algorithm is created test it until it functions properly. The simple steps are very easy to

debug and identify logic errors. Ideally trying to break the algorithm into smaller methods will create an algorithm

that is easier to follow and easier to run in a debugger.

- About Brokendust - I am a computer science major with a minor in mathematics. My interests include programming, 3d Design and application development. I document everything I do and write articles explaining things both as a way to remember what I have learned before and as way to show others how to accomplish things. I do not post tutorials that do not live up to my expectations. Each article is toughly revised to be quality work.
