Answer:

The answer to this question is given below in the explanation section.

Explanation:

An algorithm is the list of a finite set of instructions and rules that a computer needs to do to complete a task in order to solve a problem.

In short, an algorithm is a series of instructions that are implemented step by step to solve a problem. For example, you could consider a pizza recipe an algorithm for making a pizza in an everyday life routine. But when you are talking about using algorithms in computation and in mathematics. It means that solving a problem using a series of steps step by step.

For example, your everyday tasks aligned on a google calendar and remind you about your tasks using the alarm, etc- how to implement this using set of instructions and rules- is an algorithm.

Solving a quadratic equation is another example of an algorithm.

Binary search, array sorting are an example of an algorithm in computation. Because these algorithms based on the execution of step-by-step instruction to solve a problem such as sorting a list of numbers etc.

describing the structure of an information processing program or another process. Many introductory programming and systems analysis texts introduce this as the most basic structure for describing a process.

Explanation:

  • A requirement from the environment (input)
  • A computation based on the requirement (process)
  • A provision for the environment (output)

Example: A small engineering firm believes there are problems with its hiring process. Several of the junior engineers that have been hired remained at the firm for less than one year. This is a considerable cost to the firm, since recruiting and training new engineers is time consuming and expensive. The human resources manager decides to put together a group of people with extensive experience hiring new engineers. One of their first tasks is to produce an input-output model of the hiring process. They generate the following.
