Python Exercises: Algorithms

Enter the realm of algorithms, the heart of computer science. See how a well-designed algorithm – a general set of steps that accomplish a task – allows you to work out the logic of a program before you commit it to code. Try this with search and sort exercises. This lecture, presented by John Keyser, is from How to Program: Computer Science Concepts and Python Exercises. Programming is an eminently learnable skill that gives you unrivaled problem-solving power you can apply in all areas of life. It’s also a fun, creative activity that provides insight into how we control the devices that influence virtually every aspect of our lives. The 24 engaging and information-rich lessons of How to Program teach you one of the world’s most accessible and powerful computer languages, Python.
