Question

What is an algorithm? What are its characteristics?

please also write characteristics ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Characteristics of an Algorithm

Each of its steps (or phases), and their inputs/outputs should be clear and must lead to only one meaning. Input − An algorithm should have 0 or more well-defined inputs. Output − An algorithm should have 1 or more well-defined outputs, and should match the desired output.

Answer 2

Answer:

Algorithm is a step by step procedure, which defines a set of instructions to be executed in certain order to get the desired output.

• An algorithm are generally analyzed on two factors − time and space. That is, how much execution time and how much extra space required by the algorithm.

Following are the characteristics of Algorithm:

• Unambiguous − Algorithm should be clear and unambiguous. Each of its steps (or phases), and their inputs/outputs should be clear and must lead to only one meaning.

• Input − An algorithm should have 0 or more well-defined inputs.

• Output − An algorithm should have 1 or more well-defined outputs, and should match the desired output.

• Finiteness − Algorithms must terminate after a finite number of steps.

• Effectiveness- It is measured in terms of time and space.
