List of Algorithm: add "algorithm" label

Question

I want to add label "Algorithm" to the numbering of list of algorithms, e.g.,

Algorithm 1. Search
Algorithm 2. Sort

I tried different solutions found here but does not work.

The main .tex file is here:

\documentclass[PhD]{msu-thesis}
\usepackage{algorithmic}
\usepackage{algorithm}

\title{Contributions to Computer-Aided Diagnosis of Prostate Cancer in Histopathology}
\author{Kien Nguyen}
\date{2013}

\begin{document}

\frontmatter

\maketitlepage

\include{Chapter_UpdateJune/abstract}

\clearpage

\include{Chapter_UpdateJune/acknowledgement}
\SingleSpacing
\clearpage
\listoftables
\clearpage
\listoffigures
\clearpage
\listofalgorithms
%\addtocontents{loa}{\def\string\figurename{Algorithm}}
%\renewcommand*{\thealgocf}{Algorithm~\arabic{algocf}}

\bibliographystyle{IEEEbib}

\end{document}

Thanks

Welcome to TeX.SX! Please add a minimal working example (MWE) that illustrates your problem. It will be much easier for us to reproduce your situation and find out what the issue is when we see compilable code, starting with \documentclass{...} and ending with \end{document}. — karlkoeller, Aug 03 '13 at 15:53
Could you also post the issue you get when you compile the MWE from the question you linked to? — Xavier, Aug 03 '13 at 16:06
I either get the same errors when using the previous post or I do not see any label appearing in the List of Algorithms — Kien Trung Nguyen, Aug 03 '13 at 16:19
No! Do not modify algorithm.sty! You can always change what the algorithm package does in your .tex file, but never change the distribution files themselves. — jub0bs, Aug 03 '13 at 16:22
algorithm is an old package for latex209. You should try and use a new package, e.g. algorithm2e; with that package http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/1799/15925 works for me. — Andrew Swann, Aug 03 '13 at 16:55
Thanks. You mean this command: \renewcommand*{\thealgocf}{Algorithm~\arabic{algocf}}. Using this, the label "Algorithm" shows as overlapping on the algorithm title. Do you have similar problem? — Kien Trung Nguyen, Aug 03 '13 at 17:09
I found this post: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/96969/add-the-word-algorithm-before-each-entry-in-the-list-of-algorithms/126595#126595 It works for the "algorithm" package. a great code — Kien Trung Nguyen, Aug 03 '13 at 17:22
Then I guess we can close this question as a duplicate of that one? — Gonzalo Medina, Aug 03 '13 at 17:42
I actually linked to the other answer, exactly because it avoids the problem of overlapping. — Andrew Swann, Aug 03 '13 at 18:54
