matching algorithms

Matching algorithms are systematic methods used to pair two sets of items based on specific criteria, maximizing compatibility or efficiency. For example, they can match students to schools, jobs to candidates, or organ donors to recipients. These algorithms analyze preferences, needs, or other relevant data to find optimal or satisfactory pairings, often considering constraints and priorities. They are widely used in areas like online dating, job recruiting, and resource allocation to ensure fair, efficient, and effective matches between participants.
