Algorithms are a series of steps that, when combined, form the basis of a computer program. A flowchart is a visual representation of the algorithm.

A team of computer scientists has come up with a dramatically faster algorithm for one of the oldest problems in computer science: maximum flow. The problem asks how much material can flow through a ...

When designing algorithms, it is important to make sure that all the steps are presented in the correct order. This is known as sequencing, and can be displayed in pseudocode or flowcharts.

A treatment flowchart, Controlling Hypertension in Adults, breaks no major new ground but provides clinicians with a simple and easy hypertension algorithm.
