Could you advise me as to a good free software for algorithm programming? I want to learn about both graphical and textual representation of algorithms. The algorithm should be then compiled and executed. Not Pascal of Basic, I need something very simple, please.
If I understand the question, you could look at Octave which is similar to MatLab or R which uses a python-like language.
I think what he is looking for is a tool to learn some basic programming. I think there are some good tools to teach programming - scratch, logo, etc. I have heard these are good for learning programming. Both available online.
Weka is a framework written in Java that contains numerous predefined (mostly classification) algorithms. If you learn some basic Java language, you could write and evaluate your own algorithms fairly straightforward. Other languages I would recommend are R and MatLab.
Yes, Sirs, I'm looking for a tool to teach some basic programming! Something to programm graphically. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithm
Weka, R, Matlab are not recommended for learning algorithms. They are highly specialised application tools in areas like numerical programming, machine learning, etc. It is hard to learn anything about algorithm development from them!
I'm sorry, I think I somehow misread the quesion. Indeed, if you want to learn about algorithm development my suggestions are not relevant.
