Technically it's a specification of an algorithm, in the broad sense of the word "algorithm". Are you asking me to define a specification more clearly? |
Two things about the example confuse me:
So, I'd ask for a clearer explanation (not definition) of why the first thing in a specification is an algorithm and for the first example algorithm specification to be meaningful. Doesn't have to be complex or clever, but it would be nice if it didn't prompt me to spend several minutes wondering if I've missed the point somehow and it's meant to be meaningful. |
It's bewildering to me that the first example specification in the body text contains only a thing called an
algorithm
, which moreover doesn't seem to do anything meaningful. I understand that it's just a syntactically valid lump to use to point at to name some parts but my autistic brain gets stopped at this point. It's…an algorithm, says so right there,algorithm
and it talks about changing some variables. So what does it specify, if it's a specification?The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
