Learn what an algorithm is with this KS1 primary computing guide from BBC Bitesize for years 1 and 2. We will define what an algorithm is and how they work.

So, an algorithm is the process a computer uses to transform input data into output data. A simple concept, and yet every piece of technology that you touch involves many algorithms.

Do we have to let algorithms off the hook? Even if what Elkus says is true, some might suggest that algorithms can complicate existing prejudices and other issues.

The Common Core State Standards teach students the algorithm for multi-digit addition and subtraction in 4th grade. But some experts say it should be taught sooner.

Researchers have devised a new framework for designing machine learning algorithms that helps prevent intelligent machines from being biased.

When we tested our algorithms with the widely used sample data sets, we were surprised at how well they performed relative to open-source algorithms assembled by IBM.
