The five most important algorithms?

• drallison 15y ago
  Be sure to read the original source as well. The problem with compilations like this is that the "five most important" depends upon what you are programming at that instant. There are programming principles, not quite algorithms, which may be more relevant. For example: hashing, lazy evaluation, memoization, buffering, scheduling with queues, list processing, and so forth.
