5 Questions
Explain the term algorithm and its characteristics.
An algorithm is a stepwise set of instructions written to perform a specific task. Its characteristics include being clear and unambiguous, having well-defined inputs and outputs, being finite, and being feasible.
What does it mean for an algorithm to be clear and unambiguous?
It means that each step of the algorithm should be clear in all aspects and must lead to only one meaning.
Why is it important for an algorithm to have well-defined inputs and outputs?
Well-defined inputs ensure that the algorithm operates on specific data, and well-defined outputs specify what the algorithm will yield.
What is the significance of an algorithm being finite?
It ensures that the algorithm does not end up in infinite loops or similar, allowing it to reach a conclusion in a reasonable time frame.
Why is feasibility an important characteristic of an algorithm?
Feasibility ensures that the algorithm is simple and can be implemented effectively.
