This dimension sorts algorithms by their basic category, sorting, searching, graph or numerical. Wikipedia defines an algorithm as "any well-defined set of instructions that when followed terminates after a finite number of steps that comprise a solution to a given computational problem." Browsing by category keeps algorithms solving the same kind of problem grouped together.
