Quote by Steve McConnell

“heuristics are simple, efficient rules—either hard-wired in our brains or learned—that kick in especially when we're facing problems with incomplete information.”

— David DiSalvo

Heuristic is an algorithm in a clown suit. It’s less predictable, it’s more fun, and it comes without a 30-day, money-back guarantee.

— Steve McConnell

“the essence of intuitive heuristics: when faced with a difficult question, we often answer an easier one instead, usually without noticing the substitution.”

— Daniel Kahneman

“An algorithm is a methodical set of steps that can be used to make calculations, resolve problems and reach decisions. An algorithm isn’t a…

“Sometimes you don’t know what you’re looking for until you find it,” Harry answered. “It’s a methodology.”

— Jo Nesbø

An algorithm is like a recipe.

— Muhammad Waseem

All around us, algorithms provide a kind of convenient source of authority: an easy way to delegate responsibility, a short cut we take without…

“If we can’t work out how it’s done, we’ll Google it”

— Sophie Page

An algorithm must be seen to be believed.

— Donald Knuth

“Lots of very funny code is written because people don’t take the time to understand the algorithm.”

— Robert C. Martin

Once you succeed in writing the programs for [these] complicated algorithms, they usually run extremely fast. The computer doesn't need to understand the algorithm,…

“We will start by sketching the recursive algorithm and then add details to get to a full description of the algorithm. Footnote : Translation:…
