Using Computers to Solve Problems

The term computer sounds quite technical and possibly a bit overwhelming to 

some people, but people today are neck deep (possibly even deeper) in computers. 

You wear at least one computer, your smartphone, most of the time. If you have 

any sort of special device, such as a pacemaker, it also includes a computer. Your 

smart TV contains at least one computer, as does your smart appliance. A car can 

contain as many as 30 computers in the form of embedded microprocessors that 

regulate fuel consumption, engine combustion, transmission, steering, and sta-

bility (according to a New York Times article at 

http://www.nytimes.com/ 

2010/02/05/technology/05electronics.html

) and more lines of code than a jet 

fighter. The automated cars appearing in the car market will require even more 

embedded microprocessors and algorithms of greater complexity. A computer 

exists to solve problems quickly and with less effort than solving them manually. 

Consequently, it shouldn’t surprise you that this book uses still more computers 

to help you understand algorithms better.

Computers vary in a number of ways. The computer in your watch is quite small

the one on your desktop quite large. Supercomputers are immense and contain 

many smaller computers all tasked to work together to solve complex issues, such 

as tomorrow’s weather. The most complex algorithms rely on special computer 

functionality to obtain solutions to the issues people design them to solve. Yes, 

you could use lesser resources to perform the task, but the trade-off is waiting a 

lot  longer  for  an  answer  or  getting  an  answer  that  lacks  sufficient  accuracy  to 

provide a useful solution. In some cases, you wait so long that the answer is no 

longer important. With the need for both speed and accuracy in mind, the follow-

ing sections discuss some special computer features that can affect algorithms.
