If you are writing an algorithm and you aren't confident that you understand the problem, what can you do?

Check for similar problems from other resources

Explanation:

An algorithm is defined as the sequence of a well defined instructions that can be implemented in a computer in order to solve a problem or do computation in the computer.

If I am writing an algorithm and the algorithm seems to be complex and I am not confident enough to understand the problem, then I would look for other similar problems in other books or resources and then understand them first. This would give me an idea what the problem is how to solve it using algorithm in a computer. I can also gather other information or data for a reliable prediction.

i'm pretty sure data is stored in a form
