In our daily lives, we have to solve various problems by using different strategies. These strategies are
called problem-solving techniques. Some of these techniques are algorithms and mind maps.

ALGORITHM

An algorithm is a set of steps sequentially to solve a problem or to complete a task. These steps are the
foundation of a program. They are important to programming as recipes are for cooking.

Writing an Algorithm

The construction of the Algorithm is the stage that requires creative thinking and finding the best
possible combination of steps to get the result. For example:

Example 1: Algorithm for going to the market to purchase a pen.
Step 1: Start.

Step 2: Check your wallet for cash.
Step 3: Go to the market.

Step 4: Go to the stationery shop.
