Algorithm | Algorithm is a set of instructions or rules followed to complete a task. In computer programming, an algorithm is a set of steps that are followed to complete a task or solve a problem. Algorithms are important because they can be used to solve problems or perform calculations. Algorithms can be expressed in a finite amount of space and time, and they can be used to solve a wide variety of problems. Algorithms can be used to solve problems or to calculate things. They are often expressed in a programming language, which a computer can understand. An algorithm is a step-by-step plan to solving a problem. When it comes to indexing and searching on Google, an algorithm is what helps us return the most relevant results for your query as quickly as possible. An algorithm is a step-by-step plan to solving a problem. An algorithm is what helps us return the most relevant results for your query as quickly as possible. These are all problems that can be solved using algorithms. Algorithms can be expressed as code that is executed by computers or they could just be general problem solving steps that humans use to solve problems. "In computer science and mathematics, an algorithm is an unambiguous specification of how to solve a class of problems. Algorithms can perform calculation, data processing and automated reasoning tasks. An algorithm is an effective method that can be expressed within a finite amount of space and time and in a well-defined formal language for calculating a function. Starting from an initial state and initial input (perhaps empty), the instructions describe a computation that, when executed, proceeds through a finite number of well-defined successive states, eventually producing "output" and terminating at a final ending state. The transition from one state to the next is not necessarily deterministic; some algorithms
