Sequential Algorithms
Sequential algorithms are a type of computational method where operations are performed in a specific, linear order. Each step depends on the previous one, making the process straightforward and easy to follow. This approach is commonly used in programming and problem-solving, where tasks are executed one after another until a final result is achieved.
These algorithms are often contrasted with parallel algorithms, which can perform multiple operations simultaneously. Examples of sequential algorithms include sorting algorithms like bubble sort and searching algorithms like linear search. Their simplicity makes them ideal for educational purposes and for solving problems where the order of operations is crucial.
