 Algorithms
An algorithm refers to a set of instructions given in
order to complete a certain task. Everyday apps
commonly use one of three common algorithms:
Sorting Algorithm: The sorting algorithm is used
to sort items in a list. This is helpful for online
shopping apps where you need to organize
items by price.

Search Algorithm: The search algorithm allows

a user to search for an item in an app. This is
helpful for apps like YouTube where you need
to search from a list of videos.

Dijkstra Algorithm: This algorithm has a funny

name but its use is very simple. It helps to
figure out the shortest path from start to finish.
This is important for apps like Google Maps.

Describe how you will use one of the algorithms

above in your app:

 Decomposition and Sequence
Decomposition means breaking down big
problems into smaller problems. Sequence refers
to the order or steps.

Draw and write a step by step plan for your app
