What is an algorithm? A finite sequence of well-defined
instructions that solves a specific
problem or performs a computation.
What are the key properties of Well-defined inputs and outputs,
a good algorithm? definiteness, finiteness, effectiveness,

What does 'definiteness' mean Each step of the algorithm must be
in the context of algorithms? clearly and unambiguously defined.
What is the significance of The algorithm must have a finite number
'finiteness' in an algorithm? of steps and must eventually terminate.
What does 'effectiveness' Each step must be simple and feasible to
imply for an algorithm? execute with available resources.
What is meant by 'correctness' The algorithm must correctly solve the
in an algorithm? problem and produce the expected
output.
