Algorithms are step-by-step procedures or sets of rules for solving a problem or performing a computation, forming a core concept in computer science and software engineering. Understanding algorithms (such as sorting, searching, and graph traversal) and their efficiency (time and space complexity) is essential for technical interviews and for writing performant, scalable software. Software engineers, data scientists, and researchers rely on algorithmic thinking to design solutions to computational problems.
