What is an Algorithm?

An algorithm is a plan, a set of step-by-step instructions to solve a problem. If you can tie shoelaces, make a cup of tea, get dressed or prepare a meal then you already know how to follow an algorithm

An algorithm is a plan of a set of data on a computer. To create an algorithm you have to do them in order. Many things can be an algorithm.

Algorithm recognition is one of the four cornerstones of Computer Science. It involves finding the similarities or patterns among small, decomposed problems that can help us solve more complex problems more efficiently

What are algorithms used for?

To plan out the solution to a problem

To test a solution to a problem

As a platform to program a solution
