Summary
deterministic_algorithm always follows
fixed_steps with
no_randomness. Given the
same_input, it produces the
same_output every run. This creates
predictable_behavior and easy repeatability for debugging and testing. You can reason about
time_complexity and
space_complexity using worst-case guarantees. Common examples include
binary_search,
merge_sort, and Dijkstra’s algorithm with a priority queue. Contrast: a randomized approach may vary results or paths. Remember: determinism means fixed, repeatable steps and reliable outcomes.
