Hi there burning-monk (I like your username btw lol 
)
What you say I think is true as well. ârealâ here is obviously being used subjectively by me because its my opinion, in the context of computer programming/coding:
real = computer science, Stanford University is among the greatest pioneers and contributors to computer science, and Stanfordsâ Coursera course (which is what they teach to their students) seems to have defined âalgorithmsâ according to the textbook:
https://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Algorithms-Thomas-H-Cormen-ebook/dp/B007CNRCAO/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
Therefore, this has become in my opinion what ârealâ algorithms are. That is my reasoning, and I think that is reasonable. Right?
After all, without computer science, we wouldnât have a keyboard to type, a touch screen to touch, a cpu and ram to process software, certainly there would be no such thing as a browser, and the internet is the brainchild of computer scientists. So yeah.
