Is learning algorithms before programming a must ?

[Sotherefore]

yes ,I think that will be better,but what do you think, do you also prefer learning algorithms separately then going for programing class, I think you need to know more of algorithms before learning programing.

When you are registering for a programming class A programmer will be able to give you the best advice on which one to start ,for now I can't really tell which one I will have to go for except I get the idea from people who have passed through the process.

Although algorithm design demonstrates a step-by-step approach of solving a problem, it is not required prior to understanding programming in the actual world.

 

[Kaffyfolla]

Without knowing algorithms, how else are you going to understand how a program does what it does? It's essential to understand algorithm development so you can program more efficiently and write better programs.

Almost every big program is some sort of the algorithm. And the data structure and the algorithm is not an optional thing in the computer scientists syllabus. Most of the designers and the coders who can do the algorithm. The more pay you want from the coding project. then more you know the fundamentals the better.
