Source sentences:
text: If an algorithm could potentially run forever, it wouldn’t be very useful because you might never get an answer.
text: There are several different characteristics of an algorithm that are useful to know:
text: In 1829, Charles Sturm showed that the algorithm was useful in the Sturm chain method for counting the real roots of polynomials in any given interval.
text: It does no more than n swaps, and thus is useful where swapping is very expensive.
text: This algorithm is useful in implementing games of chance.
text: — I don’t know enough to say why these algorithms are useful beyond simple games, and possibly something about electrical networks.
text: Such algorithms can be useful when it is necessary to set up instructions to execute a command, but the system needs to be able to override the algorithm in the event of a pressing situation.
