Study Notes
Algorithm Definition
- An algorithm is a process or set of rules for calculations or problem-solving.
- It's a set of instructions for completing a task to get a specific outcome.
Algorithm Example
- Cooking a recipe is similar to an algorithm.
- Instructions are followed sequentially to achieve the desired result (cooked dish).
- Algorithms in programming also achieve desired output step-by-step.
Pseudocode Explanation
- Pseudocode is an English-like representation of programming code.
- It's not a real programming language.
- It uses short phrases to outline program logic before creating the actual code.
