                               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.
