I don't deal with that, because I'm not an autistic faggot that $needs$ muh math and logic for literally fucking everything. The intuitive definition of "a set of steps that leads to an outcome" is sufficient for any purpose.

He meant: "yesterday I interviewed someone that I really, really liked. And now this is me trying to save face and have a reason for rejecting you."

Yeah, no. I'm not edgy enough to walk out of an interview, besides I have a job I don't plan on leaving anytime soon. I guess I'm just shopping around to see if I something better comes up.

No. This is a board for MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCE. CS is NOT MATHEMATICS OR SCIENCE. CS is a field for discussing computation, the theory of compilers, languages, machine learning etc. It has NOTHING to do with MATHEMATICS and SCIENCE. You are OFF-TOPIC posting and shitting up OUR board with YOUR faggot pseud garbage. You can easily start an algorithms thread on >>>/g/, where you belong and should stay, and you will be greeted with other cslet FAGGOTS who think that sort of thing is just great!

Huh? How? Algorithms are literally functions. You have an input and output. Every single algorithm is this.

Every sorting algorithm implements the same function, but they are very different algorithms.

>flexing about a piece of terminology
Algorithms were in existence long before Al Khwarizmi. How about you instead thank the white man for attributing the term to him?
Fun fact: Al Kharizmi’s paper was about Islamic inheritance laws. Literally wasted his intellect trying to use algebra to figure out how to fuck over his daughters. Contrast this with the works of Europeans that led to a deeper understanding of the natural universe. Thanks dad

And? That doesn't mean that they aren't all still fundamentally functions.

I feel like this is absolute bullshit btw. Algorithms seem like a well defined process. It's literally just different paths to the same mapping of x -> y.

"sandwich algorithm" was probably some bullshit one of his professors made up in a lecture once and he just autistically assumes that because he learned it in class, everybody else should know it too.

Now watch the first 2.5 minutes of the first SICP lecture with Abelson on yt and realize that you're retard. CS is not about tools.

usually I would report you for announcing a report, but CS trash needs to be spurged from this board if it doesn't relate to theoretical CS (which is really just Mathematics) as it is always just a code monkey topic
