Sažetak
Using of category theory in computer science has extremely grown in the last decade. Categories
allow us to express mathematical structures in unified way. Algebras are used for constructing
basic structures used in computer programs. A program can be considered as an element of the
initial algebra arising from the used programming language. In our contribution we formulate
two ways of expressing algebras in categories. We also construct the codomain functor from the
arrow category of algebras into the base category of sets which objects are also the carrier-sets of
the algebras. This functor expresses the relation between algebras and carrier-sets.
