                  In everyday life, we often tackle problems using various approaches, which are called problem-
                  solving  techniques.  These  techniques  involve  a  set  of  steps  to  find  a  solution.  Similarly,  in
                  programming, different methods are used to address coding challenges, including techniques
                  like algorithms and flowcharts.

                     ALGORITHM

                  A program is a set of instructions written in a language called a programming language. Before
                  making a program on a computer, programmers need to analyse the problem and write an
                  algorithm to solve it.

                  An algorithm is a sequence of steps designed to solve a problem or complete a task. This problem
                  can be either logical or mathematical. Just like a recipe helps you cook a meal, an algorithm helps
                  create computer programs. Algorithms are written in simple and easy-to-understand manner to
                  ensure that the steps are easily understood by everyone. In programming, an algorithm is a set
                  of actions that work together to solve a problem effectively.

                    Ada Lovelace  is credited  with                            produce glucose, algorithms need
                    the evolution of the concept of                             right data to generate optimum
                    an algorithm.                                                            results.
