Mastering Algorithms for Problem Solving in C++

## Effective algorithm design and description
The skills required to effectively design and analyze algorithms are entangled with the skills required to describe algorithms effectively. A complete description of any algorithm has four components:
- **What:** A precise specification of the problem that the algorithm solves.
- **How:** A precise description of the algorithm itself.
- **Why:** A proof that the algorithm solves the problem it's supposed to solve.
- **How fast:** An analysis of the running time of the algorithm.
