Typesetting an algorithm
A very fundamental topic in computer science is the concept of an algorithm. That's a set of operations performed step by step. The purpose can be calculations or data processing, for example, sorting.
Algorithms can be visualized by a flow chart, which we did in Chapter 9, Creating Graphics. In this recipe, we will print an algorithm using pseudocode with syntax highlighting. Our example will show the calculation for a point in the Mandelbrot set.
How to do it...
We will use the algorithmicx package. For a better explanation, we split the work into many small steps. As with all examples, you can download the complete code from http://latex-cookbook.net, so you don't need to type it. At the end, you will see an image with ...
