The phases of an algorithm

The different phases of developing, deploying, and finally using an algorithm are illustrated in the following diagram:

As we can see, the process starts with understanding the requirements from the problem statement that detail what needs to be done. Once the problem is clearly stated, it leads us to the development phase.

The development phase consists of two phases:

  • The design phase: In the design phase, the architecture, logic, and implementation details of the algorithm are envisioned and documented. While designing an algorithm, we keep both accuracy and performance in mind. While searching for the solution ...
