How can I put a period right after the algorithm's number in the algorithm's title?












4















enter image description here



I wish it said "Algorithm 1.", with a period after the number, and not just "Algorithm 1". It's how I see most people using it, so I must be using an unconventional package? Would you say I should stick to the default? It's not ugly.



documentclass{article}

usepackage{algorithm}
usepackage{algpseudocode}

begin{document}
begin{algorithm}
caption{Some random algorithm}
begin{algorithmic}[0]
Procedure{random}{}:
EndProcedure
end{algorithmic}
end{algorithm}
end{document}

          • While this works in terms of the presentation you'll see an issue when you use label-ref. The period will carry to ref.

          • @Werner It depends on what the OP wants. And it is no problem to remove the period, as you probably know. And if you really think it is a reason for concern, make the comment under this answer.

          Use caption to change the labelsep method to period. Since the original caption sets the algorithm label in bold, we also change labelfont to bf.

          labelfont = bf,
          labelsep = period
          }
