What's the difference between an Algorithm and a Design Pattern

Question

I was searching for \"Undo/Redo algorithms\" and found something marked as a duplicate, but the duplicate was a request for a \"Undo Design Pattern\". I\'d really like an al

Answer 1

A design pattern is a relatively vague description of how to solve a problem at an architectural level, with emphasis on flexibility and maintainability. An algorithm is a precise description of how to compute something specific, with an emphasis on correctness and efficiency.
