Today we talked about three algorithms:


1) Finding the minimum element in an array (pretty simple, just loop across it and keep track of what the smallest you've seen so far is)


2) Map coloring (coloring a map with different colors so that adjacent things don't have the same color), which is useful in a bunch of weirdly unrelated areas.


3) Sorting, specifically merge sort. Merge sort is an example of a divide and conquer algorithm.
