So the type of algorithm depends on the requirement/use case or the data. For example, if we have data that is labeled and we need to do classification then we will go and perform logistic regression but if we want prediction instead of classification, then we will go and build a regression model. In case the data is not labeled, then we can go ahead and build a model usin"
