But writing good programs isn’t just about making things functional it’s about making them efficient, organized, and scalable. That’s where algorithmic design and data structures come in. What Is Algorithmic Design?             Algorithmic design is the process of planning out how a program will solve a problem step-by-step. Instead of jumping straight into code, programmers first think critically about the logic and structure of their solution. This helps avoid messy code and ensures the program runs as efficiently as possible (Shaffer, 2013). Let’s say you want to sort a list of names.
