An algorithm is a set of well-defined instructions in sequence to solve a problem.

Algorithm and its characteristics

• Finiteness. An algorithm must always terminate after a finite number of steps.
• Definiteness. Each step of an algorithm must be precisely defined; the actions to be carried out must be rigorously and unambiguously specified for each case.
• Input. ...
• Output. ...
• Effectiveness.
