ALGORITHM
In our daily lives, we often follow step-by-step instructions to complete tasks, such as following a
recipe to cook a meal or a set of directions to reach a destination. These sequences of actions are
examples of algorithms in everyday life. Just as these instructions help us achieve specific goals
efficiently, algorithms in computer science provide a structured approach to solving problems
and performing tasks.
An algorithm is a set of instructions or steps in a specific order to solve a problem or to complete
a task. In other words, algorithms are the building blocks of computer programs that comprise a
sequence of operations to be performed by the computer in a specific order to solve a problem.
