What is an algorithm? Write any three characteristics of an algorithm.
The step-by-step procedure to solve any logical and mathematical problem is called an Algorithm. Three characteristics of an algorithm are:
- Input — An algorithm accepts an input.
- Generality — An algorithm works in a set of inputs.
- Definiteness — Each instruction should be written in a simple and precise manner so that everyone can understand it.
