The algorithmicx
package defines two commands \Require
and \Ensure
for providing initial conditions. However, I'd like some custom commands such as \Assume
, \Define
, \Input
, etc. At present, I merely rename the above two commands to something I want, like:
\algrenewcommand\algorithmicrequire{\textbf{Input}}
However, this is not really a good solution because
- it clutters the algorithm code and what I see in LaTeX is not what is output, which can be confusing if I forget to read the preamble.
- it's not useful when the number of custom definitions needed is more than the predefined ones.
How do I define a custom command equivalent to the above two in the algorithmicx
package (I'm using algpseudocode
)? The examples in the documentation seem to cover blocks like for ... end
, etc., and not individual statements.

\algnewcommand
. In relation\Require
is defined asSo you can do:
