The Algorithms package provides a variety of sequence and collection operations, letting you cycle over a collection's elements, find combinations and permutations, create a random sample, and more.

Like humans, artificial intelligence learns by trial and error, but traditionally, it requires humans to set the ball rolling by designing the algorithms and rules that govern the learning process.
