So the 1st rank lives at the top, and the last rank lives in the low, let’s say the 1st floor. ...

Other Parts of This Series: Part 6: Let’s Feel Programming Fundamentals - Part 6 (Data Structure) Part 8: Let’s Feel Programming Fundamentals - Part 8 (Threads, Async-await, Concurrency, Parallel) Algorithm (Photo Credit: knowitallninja) In this part, we will try to understand what a algorithm is. Also see different types of algorithm based on the solution procedure. Please note: we will not dive deep for the sake of simplicity. If you feel really interested, you can explore each of them in details. And may be I will write each of the topic in details in future insha Allah. ...
