Two options are flowcharts and pseudocode ... x[min], x[pass] END IF NEXT pass END Because this algorithm consists of two nested loops, you might think that its performance is quadratic.

Machine-learning algorithms are responsible for the vast majority of the artificial intelligence advancements and applications you hear about. (For more background, check out our first flowchart ...

To clear things up, I drew you this flowchart on the back of an envelope so you can work out whether something is using AI or not. This originally appeared in our AI newsletter The Algorithm.
