Algorithms in C

An algorithm in C can be defined as the stepwise procedure to represent the solution to a problem.

An algorithm is defined as 'a set of explicit and unambiguous finite steps which, when carried out for a given set of initial conditions, produce the corresponding output and terminate in a finite time'.

The characteristics of an algorithm include: 1) zero or more input values, 2) at least one result produced, 3) clear and unambiguous steps, and 4) termination after a finite number of steps.
