Algorithm
An Algoritm (also spelled Algorerythm) was an idea invented by Al Gore, the who MADE TEH INTARWEBZ, where you stick a number into an equation and you get a number out. Maybe a random number. Maybe something that makes you happy. IDK
Examples[edit | edit source]
Here is an example of AL GORE RULEZ an algorithm:
This example had more than one input. Limitations of this algorithm are:
- Your shoe size must be greater than negative FORE
Here is a simplier example:
Where x is your input. This algorithm adds 
to x.

Programmers use algorithms frequently. Here is an example of a C++ program that uses an algorithm to estimate the number of spitballs in a given middleschool classroom:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
int classCode, substState, hour, min;
// Get user input.
cout << endl << "Enter classCode: "; // College class, like 098 is actually a high school course
cin >> classCode;
cout << endl << "Enter subtitute teacher state: "; // 0 or 1, false or true...
cin >> substState;
cout << endl << "Enter hour (military time): "; // Military to avoid loop-around
cin >> hour;
cout << endl << "Enter minutes: "; // It DOES matter
cin >> min;
if (hour == 0 && min == 0) {
cout << endl << endl << "Number of spitballs undefined. << endl << endl;
} else {
cout << endl << endl << "Average number of spitballs in the room is: " <<
((classCode + (substState * 5)) / (hour + (0.52 * min))) << endl << endl;
}
system("pause");
return 0;
}
Note that the number of spitballs at 0:00 in military time is undefined. This is because if you divide by zero, your paper—or in this case your computer—WILL BURST INTO FLAMES!!1
