ALGORITHMS

1. WHAT IS AN ALGORITHM?

   • A set of rules for solving a problem in a finite number of steps, as for finding the greatest common divisor.

2. WHEN DO WE USE ALGORITHMS?

   • WHEN WE WISH TO GIVE COMMANDS IN ORDER TO ATTAIN A SIMPLE RESULT

3. CHARACTERISTICS:

   • PRECISION
     • PRECISALY STATED STEPS
   • UNIQUENESS
     • EACH STEP HAS TO BE UNIQUE
   • FINITENESS
     • EXECUTED ALGORITHM AFTER INSTRUCTIONS
   • INPUT
     • THE ALGORITHM RECIVES INPUT IN ORDER TO WORK
   • OUTPUT
     • OUTPUT PRODUCED BY ALGORITHMS

4. EXAMPLE OF AN ALGORITHM I USE:

   • STEPS FOR CREATING A BOX (KINDERGARDEN).

5. EXAMPLE OF AN ALGORITHM THAT CAN BE USED:

   • CODE PROGRAMMING
