Math & Science ⇒ Weird behaviour of algorithmic package.

[ppel123]

I am trying to write a simple algorithm, but I am getting errors and not corrected format all the time.
The "code" I am using is :

\begin{algorithm}
\caption{Αλγόριθμος πρόβλεψης της γλώσσας επόμενης λέξης}\label{euclid}
\begin{algorithmic}[1]
\Procedure{PredictLanguageOfNextWord}{}
\State Initialize a queue of size 3
\State Initialize a list with 3 weights [0.45, 0.35, 0.20]
\State Append word of previous typed word to the queue
\If{Word typed exists in both dictionaries}
    \State Iterate through queue and calculate probabilities for the two languages 
    \State $prob\_of\_lang = prob\_of\_lang + weight_list$
    \State Compare final probabilities and return the language with the higher one
\EndIf
\EndProcedure
\end{algorithmic}
\end{algorithm}

Could someone please help me understand what is my problem here?

Unfortunately you've given neither a minimal working example nor the error message you've got nor a description of what is wrong nor what is expected. So I cannot test your code and can only speculate: You've written weight_list instead of \mathit{weight\_list} or \verb|weight_list|. Note: The \mathit should be used for the other terms too, because otherwise they are printed as products of single-letter variables instead of printed as a multi-letter variable.

If this does not answer your question, please try to improve the question. And because I've already told you that it is waste of time, to ask questions without making the problem reproducible: Please always show a minimal working example, always quote error messages (copy&paste from the log-file), and always describe your problem and the expected result.
