算法的英文说法是 algorithm。这个词来源于阿拉伯数学家穆罕默德·哈里姆·阿赫蒂兹(Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi)的名字,他在 9 世纪出版了一本名为《算法(Kitab al-Jabr wa'l-Muqabala)》的书,在其中系统地介绍了求和、差、积和商等数学运算的方法。
下面是一些英文例句:
This algorithm is used to sort a list of numbers in ascending order.
The algorithm takes O(n log n) time to run.
Can you explain the steps of this algorithm to me?
The algorithm has been shown to be correct, but it is not very efficient.
