1Introduction
In mathematics and computer science, an algorithm is defined as an unambiguous specification of how to solve a problem, based on a sequence of logical-numerical deductions. Algorithm, in fact, is a general name given to the systematic method of any kind of numerical calculation or a route drawn for solving a problem or achieving a goal utilized in the mentioned fields. Tasks such as calculation, data processing and automated reasoning can be realized through algorithms. Algorithm, as a concept, has been around for centuries. The formation of the modern algorithm started with endeavors exerted for the solution of what David Hilbert (1928) called Entscheidungsproblem (decision problem). The following formalizations of the concept ...
