For my Appendix section, I would like to reset the numbering of my equations and algorithms, and I would like to add the letter "A" just before the numbers. I do achieve this goal for my equations by adding the following lines to the beginning of my Appendix. How can I do the same thing for my algorithms? I am using the algorithm2e package.
\setcounter{equation}{0}
\renewcommand{\theequation}{A\arabic{equation}}
From examining the package source code, algocf and \thealgocf are your friend.
Example:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[linesnumbered,lined,boxed,commentsnumbered]{algorithm2e}
\begin{document}
\begin{algorithm}[H]
\SetAlgoLined
\KwData{this text}
\KwResult{how to write algorithm with \LaTeX2e }
initialization\;
\While{not at end of this document}{
read current\;
\eIf{understand}{
go to next section\;
current section becomes this one\;
}{
go back to the beginning of current section\;
}
}
\caption{How to write algorithms}
\end{algorithm}
\appendix
\setcounter{algocf}{0}
\renewcommand{\thealgocf}{A\arabic{algocf}}
\begin{algorithm}[H]
\SetAlgoLined
\KwData{this text}
\KwResult{how to write algorithm with \LaTeX2e }
initialization\;
\While{not at end of this document}{
read current\;
\eIf{understand}{
go to next section\;
current section becomes this one\;
}{
go back to the beginning of current section\;
}
}
\caption{How to write algorithms}
\end{algorithm}
\end{document}
\ref{algorithm1} \ref{algorithm2} (with the respective labels) leads to 1 A1 for me, as well as with \autoref.
.cls file that imposes some settings and that could be the reason why we are getting different results from the \ref command.
