Undefined control sequence error while writing algorithm

algorithmicalgorithms

I am trying to write algorithm but got errors like

undefined control sequence..

my code is given below can anyone tell why I am getting this error and how to remove

 \documentclass[conference]{IEEEtran}
    \IEEEoverridecommandlockouts
    \usepackage{cite}
    \usepackage{amsmath,amssymb,amsfonts}
    \usepackage{algorithmic}
    \usepackage{graphicx}
    \usepackage{textcomp}
    \usepackage{xcolor}
    \usepackage{algorithm} 
     \usepackage{algorithmic}
     
    %package for multi affiliations
    %\usepackage{authblk}
    \def\BibTeX{{\rm B\kern-.05em{\sc i\kern-.025em b}\kern-.08em
        T\kern-.1667em\lower.7ex\hbox{E}\kern-.125emX}}
    \begin{document}
    
     \begin{algorithm}[t]
     \caption{\name\ Algorithm}
    \label{alg:algo1} 
     \begin{algorithmic}[1]
     \renewcommand{\algorithmicrequire}{\textbf{Input:}}
     \renewcommand{\algorithmicensure}{\textbf{Output:}}
     \REQUIRE bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
     \ENSURE  eeeeeeeeeeeee
     \\ \textit{ttttttttttt}   
    \STATE gggggggggggggggggggggg
    \\\textit{jjjjjjjjjjjjjjj} 
            \FOR{ $user$  \(i\in n\) in $p$}  
              \STATE  wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
              \STATE   dddddddddddddddd
            \ENDFOR

Best Answer

Well, the resulting error message is

! Undefined control sequence.
<argument> \ignorespaces \name 
                               \ Algorithm

That ment that the command \name is undefined. Define it or use simply a name in line 19 in your code. Change

     \caption{\name\ Algorithm} % <======================== undefined \name

to

     \caption{name\ Algorithm} % <======================== undefined \name

The following mwe compiles without errors:

\documentclass[conference]{IEEEtran}
\IEEEoverridecommandlockouts
\usepackage{cite}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb,amsfonts}

\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage{xcolor}

\begin{document}

 \begin{algorithm}[t]

\\ \textit{bbbbbbbbbbbb}
\STATE bbbbbbbbbbbb

\end{algorithmic}
\end{algorithm}
