Abstract
The paper presents two recursive methods to compute reliability of a k-out-of-n system. The method is simple and computationally efficient when compared with other current methods. Examples illustrate the technique. The algorithms are presented in a recursive language with an Algol-like notation. The algorithms are easy to remember and can be used for manual computations.
