thanks

" an algorithm is just a fancy word for code. " I don't really agree with that statement. Code is a written representation of an algorithm. It is possible to have many different Codings to perform the same algorithm.

Yes, an algorithm is a higher level of abstraction than code. One algorithm may have any number of implementations in code.

Everything is an algorithm. People who work with algorithms but are scared of algorithms are the thing that scare me. Like congressmen.
