algorithmic paradigm

{{short description|Technique or strategy underlying a variety of algorithms}}

An algorithmic paradigm or algorithm design paradigm is a generic model or framework which underlies the design of a class of algorithms. An algorithmic paradigm is an abstraction higher than the notion of an algorithm, just as an algorithm is an abstraction higher than a computer program.[https://books.google.com/books?id=M2viBQAAQBAJ&pg=PA702 p. 702][https://books.google.com/books?id=McPJt_eBgnoC&pg=SA1-PA9 p. 9]
