In the field of computer science - or more specifically that of computer graphics - a lolgorithm is a variation of an algorithm with a generally non-intentional, comical outcome. In some cases a lolgorithm can be developed with the intent of producing amusing results, but it is generally the product of programmer error. The term can also be applied to "hacks": code that was written to to approximate a solution to a problem instead of fixing it.

Get the lolgorithm mug.Algorithm hell refers to a behavior of the Youtube Algorithm to not push out a creators content as much as before. It is usually caused due to inactivity of the uploader and the algorithm assuming the channel is esentially dead even though the creator is still uploading

Get the algorithm hell mug.A set of steps used to solve a problem. A word primarily used in the fields of mathematics and computer science, but can be applied to almost anything.
Fred: Hey man, find a job yet?
Greg: No man, I developed an algorithm to make some mad cash!
Fred: ...
Greg: Step 1: Obtain a case of beer. Step 2: ??? Step 3: Profit!
Greg: Can't argue with that logic. Beer me.
<Greg and Fred both crack a beer and proceed to get drunk>

Get the algorithm mug.(MATHEMATICS) a function of numbers that are the root of a base. For example, log(base 2) means a function of numbers that are the numbered roots of 2. The log(base 2) of 2 is 1, meaning 2 raised to the power of 1 is 2 (2^1 = 2); log(2) of 4 is 2, and so on.
The idea here is that any number can be expressed as 2 raised to some power; better still, if you do math with the logs of a number rather than the numbers themselves, you can find useful patterns. For example, if you are graphing population growth, and you just plot the raw number of people over time, you aren't going to notice anything in particular. If you plot the log of population, you can see that, while population is growing, the rate of growth is falling.
Usually, if you are doing statistical research with numbers that always have to be positive (like population, death tolls from diseases, etc.), you need to use logarithms for the numerical values in order to represent a confidence interval.
Logs usually have a base of e or 10. Logs with a base of e are called natural logs.

Get the logarithm mug.mathmatical process by which a shit/corn ratio is aquired. it is devised from taking the amount of corn in your shit and dividing it by the total mass of your log, including water content and multiplying by 100. is expressed in units called nibblets. my corn ratio is 22 niblets some days.
shannon- hey i am eating corn
tim- maybe you will shit some out
dan- ill get my calculator so we can logarithm afterwards.

Get the logarithm mug.an algorithm is a procedure (a finite set of well-defined instructions) for accomplishing some task which, given an initial state, will terminate in a defined end-state. A Jism Algorithim is when The computational complexity and efficient implementation of the algorithm are so strong and firm that sperm leaks out.
translated into Latin in the 12th century, as Jisimi Algoritmi de numero Indorum, which title was likely intended to mean "Algoritmi about the numbers of the Indians which i made white and cream-like", where "Algoritmi" was the translator's rendition of the author's name and "jisimi" meant cum, white cum; but people misunderstanding the title treated Jisimi Algoritmi as a Latin plural and this led to the word "Jism algorithm"
