The term running an algorithm I use to mean doing a set of calculations:

What do you need to know to run an algorithm in an examination?

  1. You need to understand the meanings of all variables to an extent that you are able to assign correct values to them.
  2. You need to be able to write down the steps in the algorithm.
  3. You need to be able to run the algorithm.

For example, here's a 'run' of the algorithm for slving for the forces at joint B in the Nodal Analysis key example:

Isolate Joint B
joint_B_diagram_1
empty app.diagrams.net chart
joint_B_diagram_2
empty app.diagrams.net chart
