An algorithm, drawn by a 26-year-old female Master student in economy in Switzerland.

Now, on the other hand, I would like you to draw me how algorithms work. Algorithms? Yeah. Okay, I'm drawing something. I'm going to do a binary system. Let’s do it like that or something. That's it, that's my algorithm. Okay, and can you explain to me how your algorithm works here? An algorithm consists of many letters and numbers, exactly. The X becomes two X's. This is my algorithm, or binary system. And how does the X become the two X's? Times two [laughs]. Okay. So how does this 0 and 1 work here? What do they have to do with your X becoming two X's? That has nothing to do with it. But the binary system is just like the whole Internet, the computer works. Because it is based on the binary system. So it's also an algorithm that's programmed or is programmed. Okay, and how did you learn how an algorithm works? Yeah, I don't know. I can't do that. So you mean how I know that it's the binary system or what? No, but like how you know what an algorithm is in the first place, for example. Oh, yes. University. At the university? So that's where you learned the term, or how do you know it? Well, we had three semesters of computer science class. Ah, ok [laughs]. But also a long time ago! I don't remember it all that well. All right, okay. Thanks! That's it.
