This week's series is dedicated to helping beginners on their coding journey by addressing common doubts and misconceptions. We will delve into fundamental concepts, explore essential tools, and shed light on industry practices, providing clarity and guidance to those who are new to coding. If you're an experienced developer, your valuable insights, explanations, and best practices are highly encouraged and appreciated to support and mentor aspiring coders!
Algorithms are at the heart of coding and programming, but what exactly are they? Join the discussion to demystify algorithms, share examples of their application, and discuss their significance in problem-solving and optimization.

Programming is a kind of non-material philosophy.
Why non-material? Programming (as well as philosophy) has material effects
Yeah... A bunch of magnetic distortions on various media...
No, no. I mean material and practical effects. As it happens with thinking.
I mean, the result of your programming activity is a program that processes information for someone else (human or a machine) to make decisions and perform concrete actions, such as buying a product, making an appointment, prescribing a medicine, dropping a bomb,...
Your program can influence the decisions of others :-)
What is an algorithm? A recipe, nothing more. A specific sequence of step aimed to doing something. Nothing more, no magic or esoteric stuff here.
Illusion inside the imagination that reflected in our real life universe.
