                           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.

                 CHARACTERISTICS OF AN ALGORITHM
                 An ideal algorithm has the following characteristics:

                   Precision: Each step is precisely defined.
