The following is an alphabetical listing of the algorithms described in Wikipedia.
If you intend to describe a new algorithm, please read algorithms on Wikipedia first, then add a link to your article and a one-line description here.
- Binary search: locates an item in a sorted list
- Binary search tree
- Bubble sort
- Euclidean algorithm: computes the greatest common divisor of two numbers
- Erlang: statistical computation of traffic
- Exponentiating by squaring: quickly computes of powers of numbers and matrices
- Fast Fourier Transform: determines the frequencies contained in a signal
- Flood fill: Fills a connected region of a multi-dimensional array with a specified symbol
- Hash table algorithms
- Heapsort
- Insertion sort
- Linear search: finds an item in an unsorted list
- Merge sort: sorts by sorting the first half, then the second half, then merging
- Perfect hashing
- Pigeonhole sort
- Quicksort: sorts by dividing the elements into small and large ones, then sorting each group
- Run-length encoding: compresses by writing down how often a letter is repeated
- Square root: approximates the square root of a number
