specially in computers.
What are the characteristics of
an Algorithm?
It has to be:
Defined
It has no
uncertainty
of meaning
or intention
in the
instruction.
Ordered
The
instructions
present a
sequence
that is
logical
Precise
The results
of the
established
goal are
identical
every time
instructions
are used
Finite
It has an
explicit
start and
ending
How do we identify Input,
Process and Output?
Output
The results of
the instructions
carried out
Process
Series of steps that
can modify both the
Output and the
Input
Input
Requirements
or materials to
carry out the
instructions
