Introduction to Algorithms
An algorithm is a well-defined procedure that allows a computer to solve a problem. Another way to describe an algorithm is a sequence of unambiguous instructions. The use of the term 'unambiguous' indicates that there is no room for subjective interpretation. In this module you will get an introduction about the different design strategies in programming.

Sorting Algorithms
A sorting algorithm is an algorithm that puts elements of a list in a certain order. The most frequently used orders are numerical order and lexicographical order. In this module, you will learn how the given data is sorted using the various sorting algorithms. You will also analyse the complexities of the algorithm.

Divide and Conquer Design Strategy
Divide and conquer is an algorithm design paradigm based on multi-branched recursion. A divide and conquer algorithm works by recursively breaking down a data-set into two or more sub-data-sets, until these become simple enough to be solved directly . In this module you will learn how to solve problems using this strategy.

Greedy Strategy - I
A greedy algorithm is an algorithmic paradigm that follows the problem solving heuristic of making the locally optimal choice at each stage with the intent of finding a global optimum. In many problems, a greedy strategy does not usually produce an optimal solution, but nonetheless a greedy heuristic may yield locally optimal solutions that approximate a globally optimal solution in a reasonable amount of time. In this module you will learn how to solve problems using this strategy.
