Complex Algorithms

Definition

Complex algorithms are sets of instructions or procedures designed to solve intricate problems or perform complex tasks. They often involve multiple steps, decision-making processes, and data manipulation techniques.

Recursion:

Recursion is a technique used in algorithms where a function calls itself repeatedly until it reaches a base case. It allows for elegant solutions to certain problems by breaking them down into smaller subproblems.

Sorting Algorithms:

Sorting algorithms are used to arrange elements in a specific order, such as ascending or descending. Examples include bubble sort, insertion sort, and quicksort.

Search Algorithms: Search algorithms are used to find specific elements within a collection of data. Examples include linear search, binary search, and depth-first search (DFS).
