Hello peeps 😊, Today I am gonna share the algorithm-related interview questions as part of my interview preparation series for Software Engineers. This is the sixth part of the series. In case you missed the previous sessions, you can read the first part here, OOP & Java, Database, Data Structures, and Concurrent Programming. Without further delay, let’s jump into today’s topic Algorithms.

  • An algorithm is a series of well-defined instructions for solving a certain issue in computer programming. It accepts a collection of inputs and outputs the desired result.
  • Input and output must be well specified.
  • Each stage of the algorithm should be simple and straightforward.
  • Among the numerous various approaches to address an issue, algorithms should be the most effective.
  • Computer code should not be included in an algorithm. Rather, the method should be designed in a way that allows it to be utilized in a variety of programming languages.
