* Working something out step-by-step always helped me remember the logic behind algorithms. * I have also learned along the way that the math that I took time to work out stayed on in my memory for longer. * Sometimes, the beauty of the algorithm is in the details. * By repeating a certain exercise for different numbers, I have come upon special cases of the problem that enhanced my understanding of the problem.
