Question

what are algorithm ? ​

Answer 1

${\bold{\underline{\underline{Answer:}}}}$

$\leadsto$ An algorithm is a sequence of instructions written in simple English language to solve a particular problem. An algorithm depicts a particular sequence of instructions which generate the solution of a problem when implemented or executed. The algorithm is independent of any programming language and the actual solution can be designed by using any programming language.

An algorithm must have following characteristics :

(1) Each instructions should be precise and unambiguous.

(2) Each instructions should be written in such a man and that it can be performed in a finite time.

(3) One or more instructions should not be repeated infinity. That means, you must ensure that the program stops after a given number of iterations.

(4) After executing the steps of the algorithm desired results must be obtained.
