None.
An algorithm is like a cooking recipe, you can write it in any language (English, French, Italian, German, Chinese ...), the result will be the same.
An algorithm is a procedure describing how to solve a problem.

Think of Sieve of Eratosthenes - Wikipedia[^] created more than 2000 years ago, it is an algorithm, a procedure to find prime numbers.

This should get you started with algorithms:
- Learn one or more analyze methods, E.W. Djikstra/N. Wirth Stepwize Refinement/top-Down method is a good start.

None. Algorithms are "language agnostic" - they can be implemented in any language, but they are a "way of thinking" about a problem rather than a language specific implementation.

You construct an algorithm and then apply it by implementing it in any appropriate language, or none it you follow the algorithm manually in the real world.
