Reluctant Algorithms

Is this real life?

Pardon me for being reluctant to say, for I can't commit myself to a simple answer on so broad a question. Could you be more specific?

Perhaps you mean something like this:


        Algo Main()

        Ifreallife then

        giveanswer

        else

        askforclarification

        endif

        End Algo


        sub giveanswer()

        displayonpage(answertoquestion)

        end sub


        sub askforclarifiation()

        displayonpage(requestforclarification)

        end sub

People are here who can answer specific questions.

The SlowSort algorithm is a perfect illustration of the MultiplyAndSurrender paradigm, which is perhaps the single most important paradigm in the development of ReluctantAlgorithms.
