How to create an algorithm

Jump to navigation Jump to search

Overview

An algorithm is a schematic drawing that helps organizing step by step approaches in a visually simplified way. An algorithm is formed by a set of boxes and lines that join them.

Create an Algorithm

Introduction

  • To begin an algorithm, you should start with the following code {{family tree/start}} and end it with {{family tree/end}}.
  • You can name an algorithm by starting with following: {{family tree/summary= Name of the algorithm}}
  • The algorithm consists of boxes that occupy virtual rows:
 
 
 
Box 1 in Row 1
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Box 2 in Row 2
 
 
 
Box 3 in Row 3
 
 
 
 
 
 
Box 4 in Row 3



  • Each row is represented by the following where each | | represents a space.:

{{Family tree | | | | | | | | | }}


  • Each box is represented by the content that fills the space in | |, for example | A01 | will give:
 
A01
  • In order to link the boxes you need to use symbols. The basic symbols that you will most commonly use are the following:
    • ! will link two boxes placed vertically on top of each other
    • - will link two boxes placed horizontally next to each other
    • ^ will link bifurcate a line arising from a box into two branches.

Step By Step

Linking cells horizontally:
You type: 
{{Family tree/start}}
{{Family tree | | | | A01 |-| A02 | |A01= Box 1 in Row 1| A02= Box in Row 1}}
{{Family tree/end}}
You get:
 
 
 
Box 1 in Row 1
 
Box in Row 1
 
 
You type: 
{{Family tree/start}}
{{Family tree | | | | A01 |-|-|-| A02 | |A01= Box 1 in Row 1| A02= Box in Row 1}}
{{Family tree/end}}
You get:
 
 
 
Box 1 in Row 1
 
 
 
Box in Row 1
 
 
 
 
You type: 
{{Family tree/start}}
{{Family tree | | | | A01 |~| A02 | |A01= Box 1 in Row 1| A02= Box in Row 1}}
{{Family tree/end}}
You get:
 
 
 
Box 1 in Row 1
 
Box in Row 1
 
 
You type: 
{{Family tree/start}}
{{Family tree | | | | A01 |~|~|~| A02 | |A01= Box 1 in Row 1| A02= Box in Row 1}}
{{Family tree/end}}
You get:
 
 
 
Box 1 in Row 1
 
 
 
Box in Row 1
 
 
 
 
Linking cells vertically:
You type: 
{{Family tree/start}}
{{Family tree | | | | A01 | | | |A01= Box 1 in Row 1}}
{{Family tree | | | | |!| | | | | }}
{{Family tree | | | | B01 | | | |B01= Box 2 in Row 2}}
{{Family tree/end}}
You get:
 
 
 
Box 1 in Row 1
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Box 2 in Row 2
 
 
 
You type: 
{{Family tree/start}}
{{Family tree | | | | A01 | | | |A01= Box 1 in Row 1}}
{{Family tree | | | | |!| | | | | }}
{{Family tree | | | | |!| | | | | }}
{{Family tree | | | | |!| | | | | }}
{{Family tree | | | | B01 | | | |B01= Box 2 in Row 2}}
{{Family tree/end}}
You get:
 
 
 
Box 1 in Row 1

You type: 
{{Family tree/start}}
{{Family tree | | | | A01 | | | |A01= Box 1 in Row 1}}
{{Family tree | | | | |:| | | | | }}
{{Family tree | | | | B01 | | | |B01= Box 2 in Row 2}}
{{Family tree/end}}
You get:
 
 
 
Box 1 in Row 1
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Box 2 in Row 2
