An algorithm is a set of step-by-step instructions given to a computer to
execute a particular task. We cannot change the order of an algorithm because
a computer can function properly only by following a fixed order of steps.
For example:
If your teacher says, “All the students who were born in December, stand up.”
Then all the children who were born in December will stand up.
We can write this as:
If (Born in December)
Stand Up
Now suppose your teacher says, “All the students who like computers, raise your
hands.”
How can you write this in the form of an algorithm?
