About this unit
Learn to define algorithms, express them in flow chart and pseudocode, and assess their correctness and efficiency. See how algorithms can be used as shortcuts to solve problems that cannot be solved in a reasonable amount of time, and how this applies to undecidable problems and parallel and distributed computing.AP CSP:
