                  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.
                  Step 5  Ask for your favourite pen.

                  Step 6  If the pen is available, then go to step 7 otherwise go to step 10.
                  Step 7  Give money to the shopkeeper.

                  Step 8  Keep the purchased pen safe.
                  Step 9  Go back home and go to Step 12.
