Line 7: The '''bully algorithm''' is a programming mechanism that applies a hierachy to nodes on a distributed system making them Coordinator or Slaves. This is used as a method in [[distributed computing]] for dynamically electing a [[Distributed Computing#Coordinator Election\|coordinator]] by process ID number. The process with the highest process ID number is selected as the [[Distributed Computing#Coordinator Election\|coordinator]]. This, is one optimized solution from The Byzantine Generals Problem [1] in order to improve the [[Distributed Computing#Coordinator Election\|coordinator]] or "General" election. ==Assumptions==
