Of greed and ants.

The article discusses the development of various kinds of algorithms, such as the "bubble sort," "bully," and "greedy" algorithms, and one based on the behavior of ant colonies. "Ant colony" algorithms mimic the way ants find paths to food, by going in random directions at first but then following p...

"Ant colony" algorithms mimic the way ants find paths to food, by going in random directions at first but then following pheromone trails left by ants who discover food.
