Hi Sachin,

I think you're asking whose responsibility it is to write algorithms on a software project team. Let me know if that's not what you're asking.

Yes, the developer will write the algorithms, since algorithms are accomplished with code. This course is focused on the theory, but these are concepts a developer should keep in mind when writing programs. Very often a developer has multiple ways to solve a problem, and part of the decision making process should be around what the efficiency of the possible solutions are.

Hope this helps!
