I really don't think you can call that an algorithm, it's a set of human defined rules. You could call it a formula, but an algorithm implies a series of steps

I really don't think you can call that an algorithm, it's a set of human defined rules. You could call it a formula, but an algorithm implies a series of steps which are not present here.
- zimpenfish 6y agoSince algorithm is defined as "a process or set of rules to be followed in calculations or other problem-solving operations", how is it not an algorithm?
- bosswipe 6y agoGoing by that definition, the rules here are not defining the steps to be followed to do the calculation. The rules here are defining the answer that they want, not the steps necessary to figure it out.
