Algorithms appear almost everywhere in life. For example, a store clerk uses an algorithm with tasks such as scanning items, bagging groceries, and accepting your payment. Other algorithms, such as those that make up computer operating systems, are much more complex. In general, the goal of algorithm design is to complete a job in fewer steps. From what you have learned in the course, use critical thinking to create your own algorithm to complete a computing task. You can use C++, Java, or Python3 to create your algorithm.

Tips:

Remove unwanted comments.
Use proper logic.
Use fast calculating iterations.
Have a clear plan before creating the algorithm.
Make it small.
Make it efficient.
For your Word Document

There are four steps to algorithm methodology. In a 3-4 page paper, discuss your algorithm design in relation to these four steps. Describe how you went through each step of the methodology to create your algorithm.

Your paper should be 3-4 pages in length (excluding the cover page and references, which are required) and formatted according to the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA (Links to an external site.). Be sure to discuss and reference concepts taken from the textbook and relevant research. You must include a minimum of three credible, academic or professional references. Review the grading rubric to see how you will be graded for this assignment.

Create a zip file that includes all three requirements and upload that zip file for grading.
