Question

• Understand the meaning of an algorithm. More specifically: o describe how to perform a task, such as following a cake recipe, using simple and clear steps. o Write the steps and put the steps in a logical order. o Compare this process with the meaning of an algorithm. o Brainstorm if there would be the same result if we changed the order of steps. o Represent the algorithm with a flowchart, to show what condition applies during the execution of an algorithm. • Do the above activity During the creation of an algorithm, keep in mind:  Correct data input.  Data validity  Data output

Answer 1

Answer:

An algorithm is a finite list of instructions, most often used in solving problems or performing tasks. You may have heard the term used in some fancy context about a genius using an algorithm to do something highly complex, usually in programming. Indeed, you've most likely heard the term used to explain most things related to computer processes. However, what would you say if I was to tell you that there is a very good chance that you, yourself, have followed an algorithm? You may have followed some algorithms hundreds or thousands of times!
