Question

I'll also ask you to consider, more generally in life (not necessarily dealing with computers) where you might need an "algorithmic" approach to selecting an item for whatever reason. For example, most people tend to use a LIFO approach to choosing which plate to use for dinner. We don't usually dig down to the bottom of the stack of plates; we normally grab the one from the top since it is easier to obtain. So, the last plate washed and dried and put into the cupboard is the first one actually used. The one on the bottom probably only sees duty when Aunt Martha and all your cousins come over for dinner. Where else in your daily life do you use some sort of selection algorithm to choose from among several options?

Explanation / Answer

Example: Buying groceries from a grocery store.

If you notice on grocery store, in general there will be several copies of item you need stack one after another and most of the time you will pick the first one in stack and buy it.
